Sarasota Speed Networking – Membership Update

We are excited to share that we now have three members in both the Wealth Management and Digital Marketing categories. As a reminder, each business category within Sarasota Speed Networking is generally limited to three active participants to preserve exclusivity and maximize the value of connections.

Why Becoming a Founding Member Matters:

  •  Founding Members have voting rights, allowing them to:

    •   Vote new members in

    •   Vote current members out Vote current members out2. Standard Members do not have voting rights, and their membership is not protected if their category reaches capacity.

  • Standard Members do not have voting rights, and their membership is not protected if their category reaches capacity.

    3. If a category fills with three Founding Members, a Standard Member may be removed to make space.

  • If a category fills with three Founding Members, a Standard Member may be removed to make space.

While the three-person cap per category is standard, we recognize that certain industries have diverse sub-specialties. In select cases, if all three existing Founding Members in a category agree that a prospective member’s business is sufficiently distinct from theirs, we may approve a fourth member in that category.

This exception allows for flexibility while maintaining the group’s integrity and commitment to non-competing networking opportunities.

To maintain your position and gain a voice in key membership decisions, we strongly encourage you to become a Founding Member. Founding Members enjoy not only voting rights but long-term security and leadership within Sarasota Speed Networking.
