Membership Process
|
Membership
in TAB is by invitation only. The first step in becoming a TAB member is
to attend one of our informational meetings held on a periodic basis throughout
the Delaware
Valley, or to
request a private meeting with one of our Facilitators. Click here if you
would like to contact TAB-DV, or to register for an informational
meeting.
Once you
have become knowledgeable of the program and its benefits, the next step
to membership is to have a private “interview” with your
Facilitator. This confidential meeting serves two purposes: for
prospective members to discuss specifics of the program and how the
program would help them, and for TAB to learn about your qualifications
to become a member.

These qualifications (link to Membership Qualifications) include experience
in the business world, knowledge of business issues, and the ability and
willingness to share information and to give and accept advice from peers.
Once the decision to join takes place, a short and simple application is
completed. The candidate and the Facilitator will jointly decide if the new
member will join an exiting Board or will form part of a new Board. If the
decision is to join an existing Board, the Facilitator will propose the new
member for inclusion to the Board, and must receive unanimous acceptance.
In either case, the new member receives a roster of the proposed Board to
ensure that there are no conflicts – business or personal –
with other members.
A private
session with the Facilitator will take place prior to the first Board
meeting. At this session, the Facilitator will prepare the member for
his/her first Board meeting, go over the “rules of the game”,
instruct the member in the use of the TAB Vantage business assessment
process and have the member complete a behavioral assessment that will be
used to develop good communications within the Board.
The
new member is now ready to reap the many benefits of a TAB membership.
