How to Select a Member type (Begin Member Registration at the Bottom of this Page)

We have three member types: Regular, Associate and Sponsor members. Here is how each is defined:

Regular Member or Qualified Business Owners is an independent business owner, senior partner, board member or senior decision maker. Regular Members can also be law and/or accounting professionals who regularly work with the business community. Regular Members are typically not one person franchises, independent contractors (real estate salespeople, for example) and home based businesses.

Must hold or have recently held and sustained a position of: CxO Senior or Managing Partner Principal Director/Board Member in which Company revenue exceeded $200K annually and applicant provided significant and verifiable contribution to company's growth or market position and must attend a minimum of two events per year to remain active

Associate Member or Non Qualified Attendees are senior members of their firms, but do not have an ownership interest in the firm or the ownership interest is less than 20%. Those not meeting the requirements of the Regular Membership may continue to attend Fridays at Four events if they are reviewed and approved by NABOE. Ongoing requirements for Non Qualified Attendees include bringing a Qualified Attendee with them as their guest. Non-Qualified Attendees must not bring the same Qualified Attendee to more than three events annually.

Sponsor Member is the highest level of membership. Sponsor Members and they are afforded exposure throughout the network. Sponsor Members can be Regular or Associate Members. Please contact us for details and costs of various levels of NABOE sponsorships.
