• How do I become a member?

  The first step to becoming a member of neXco National is to visit a chapter! We welcome guests at any of our chapter meetings. 

  Once you find a chapter that is a good fit and has your professional seat open you can submit an application on our website.  After your second meeting and three 1-2-1’s with members of the chapter you with to join a vote will be initiated. You must receive 80% of more “yes” votes from the neXco chapter you are apply for.  You would then pay the annual membership dues to join officially.

• What chapter should I visit?

  Please check our “chapter openings’ under the visit a chapter tab and see what chapter(s) your seat is open. If there are no openings or locations convenient for you, you can consider opening your own chapter, more info can be found here: Start a Chapter.

  At neXco National, we have a 10-point requirement per quarter, you receive a point for every guest you bring to a meeting, every referral you pass and every 1 to 1 you have with a member or guest. Every 1 to 1 will count as 1 point, up to a maximum of 5 per quarter. The remainder of the 10 points will come from referrals and guests.   

  All members are committed to being responsive and to ensuring all communications are returned within 24 hours.  Any referred business will be delivered with the highest quality ensuring the client is 100% satisfied with the deliverable.

• Do you have a referral requirement that will force me to violate my code of ethics?

  We are aware of the fiduciary standards some professions must abide by. There is nothing in our membership language that requires exclusive referrals to your chapter or a neXco member. And our point system to maintain good standing can be satisfied through guests you bring to chapter meetings and 1 to 1s you have with other members and guests.
