Hi Fellow Members,

Veris here--from the field. FYI as of July 1st through Dec 31st, check out the NEW Advocate Pricing for those who can qualify to join their local cross-discipline peers & colleagues:

One-time Intake Charge: $250 (will revert back to $399 in June 2012) subject to 30-day refund

Preferred Members: Recurring Monthly Marketing Fee: $50 (will revert back to $99 in 06-2012)

Associate Members: Recurring Monthly Fee: $25 (will revert back to $49 in 06-2012)

Pre-Membership: $0 Intake and $0 Monthly Marketing--but will have to formally JOIN before Referrals can be made (subject to 30-day satisfaction guarantee/refund)

Just one question: are you in?

POB, Sorry; this needs your editing. FYI--The $250 bottom is the cost-point we can't go below and still cover costs of 3rd party vendors. On average, B-E is $247 across the board--for solid ref-checking. BV

This blog was prompted by a request from Louise J. in Seattle. She complained that the Receiving member tried to "muscle" his was into the lead project manager position, dictate to her client and totally "usurp" her role as "trusted advisor." (Unfortunately, there was no CC in the area [yet] to mitigate/remind folks that the community posture isn't hit-and-run, rather a long-term, meaningful exchange of opportunity for those who get it. After a short memo, all's well in Seattle today!)BV

[2] To be given credit, all surveys must be in by COB 1-29-11.
[3] Our "Unsolicited Proofreader" contest ended on 1-15-11.

Is this clear enough? Enumeration? Too simplistic? Your call!
