The takeaway
Visit as a guest if possible, read the rules, and ask current members what they actually get from it.
Look at the people
The most important factor is who you will meet. Ask what roles and industries are represented and how members are selected.
Questions to ask
Use these with any group you are considering.
- How often do members meet, and in what format?
- What are the rules on conduct, guests and attendance?
- What does each membership option include?
- Can I attend as a guest first?
Read before you sign
Review published rules and terms in full. A good community will happily answer questions before you apply.
