How PODs work is simple:

  1. One or two members sponsor the POD, 8 to 10 other members join, and these members meet on a regular basis to build relationships, trade industry intelligence, and share new business leads.
  2. Most PODs meet monthly and stay intact for several years in order to build greater depth & breadth with each member.
  3. PODs are meant to be category exclusive for the members, so each has more depth of reach. (ex. only one Due Diligence professional per POD)

 

PODs can be industry agnostic, industry exclusive, location specific, or special interest/activing/fun!
