No, there can be more than one person in the same industry.  Often, if there is already someone in an industry, another will not join.  We believe in cooperation, rather than competition.  That being said, each group can set their own rules, so perhaps you might be in a group that prefers exclusitivy.  

It is up to you to pay your membership.  A notice will be sent out.  You will not have an automatic withdrawl from your account.  

You can pay with cash, check or credit card.  Check is preferrable because there are no transaction fees.  

Yes, if you are not satisfied, and you have paid more than one month in advance, then you will get a refund for the remaining months.  If you are paying monthly, then there is no refund for the current month, even if you cancel your membership before the end of the month.  

The application fee is non-refundable.  

Successful meetings need members present.  You are expected to be at each meeting or to find someone to fill in for you.  As a member, we want you to make this group a part of your regular schedule.  We also understand that life happens.  Each group, decides their own expectations about attendance.  

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be in a group such as ours.  In the event that you feel that what Intrepid has done for you is worth more than what we are charging, then by all means, you are welcome to pay more.  

We also don't have office staff and we don't have a physical location with rent, utlities and other expenses associated with having a physical location.  So we can pass that savings on to you.    

Remember, our success is measured by your success!
