Meeting Structure
Each meeting begins with 15 minutes of Open Networking.
Members utilize this time to catch up with each other, schedule one-to-ones, and welcome visitors.
Opening & Introductions:
Learn about who we are and why we gather. Meet our Leadership Team
Education Minute:
Short informational presentation on a variety of topics, such as how to be a better networker,
how to use social media to your business advantage, goal setting, and time management.
60-Second Commercials:
Each business gets one minute to share their weekly "Elevator Pitch" with the group. This can include testimonials about ways your business excels in its profession, information about a special event your business is hosting,
and particular needs or clients your business is seeking, among other items.
Members, Substitutes, and Visitors are all given one minute to share during our regular meetings.
Announcements:
Mostly pertaining to members, including scheduling and upcoming events, as well as reports from our Leadership Team.
10-Minute Presentations:
At each of our regular meetings, two members are given extended time to talk about their business. Members use this time to expand on details of their products, services, and processes. Some will bring hard goods to show, some will utilize Central Bank's resources to offer slide show presentations, and some will demonstrate their skills with hands-on presentations.
I Have:
In the final and most important portion of our meeting, every member shares ways they have contributed to our networking community since our last meeting. This includes referrals passed, Close of Business with a member or through a previously passed referral, and 1-1 meetings between members. This is also a great time to share testimonials of ways other members have provided exceptional service and/or products.

Alternative Networking:
Occasionally, usually occurring on the 5th Tuesday of the month, we have a more informal meeting and often meet in a location other than Central Bank. We generally gather for breakfast and have Alternative Networking time, which includes one-on-one networking, Power Group formation, and detailed Referral Network studies, among other things.
