FAQ

I have other staff or people who work with me who would like to be a member, do they need to fill out a separate application?

Yes, each business is to select one member representative. If you have additional staff who would like to be a member, they will need to apply separately for the same business. However, for special events and workshops, you are welcome to invite as many staff as you wish.

Can you share more about the special events and workshops?
