| Our Guide For Membership |
|
PRO's membership guidelines allow for only one person from each professional classification or specialty, with all our members representing only one primary occupation.
If a member representing a particular profession leaves the group, another person from that profession may join.
By limiting our membership, we can provide our members with unparalleled assurance that they will not be competing among one another for similar referrals.
We provide an opportunity at every meeting for our members to introduce themselves and describe their businesses. |

|
| Member Requirements |
|
To maximize the possibilities available through sustained networking, we hold weekly meetings and ask that our members participate actively.
If members are unable to attend
any scheduled meeting, a substitute
may attend. If a member cannot
attend or send a substitute, a
PRO officer or member of the Membership
Committee needs to be informed.
If a member misses three consecutive
meetings in a quarter and fails
to inform a PRO representative,
that member will be dropped from
the membership rolls. A new business
professional from that business
category will be asked to join.
Membership is NOT transferable. |

| PRO Code of Business Conduct and Ethics |

| A handshake between Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight sealed an agreement, founded a company and signaled the start of a revolution. Thirty years after that handshake, Nike maintains the very same foundation of integrity as a reflection of the Nike commitment. |

PRO utilizes an ethics committee to settle any disruptions that may arise in the event that a PRO member performs unacceptable work. It is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and discovers that the business transaction was not satisfactorily handled must report this information to the Executive Director, who will then review it and pass it along for investigation if warranted. |
