Once you find a group, complete the application on the back of this form and submit it along with payment to the Chamber.

Chamber Referral Group - Guidelines
The purpose of a Chamber Referral Group is to offer a business networking opportunity to non-competing
Chamber Member businesses through the reciprocal exchange of sales referrals or leads.
- Participants must be active Members of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce (SVC Chamber) or pay at the non-member rate. If a Member drops out of the Chamber, the Member’s Referral Group is automatically terminated, and Referral Group participation must be discontinued unless paid at the non-member rate.
- To join a Chamber Referral Group, the participant must first complete and submit this Referral Group Application along with an annual group dues payment of $30.00. Dues are non-refundable. Members will be invoiced for annual renewal.
- A participant missing 3 consecutive unexcused meetings, or four meetings in a quarter, may be required by the Group Chair to give up Membership in that group. If a participant is unable to attend a meeting, it is their responsibility to inform the Group Chair or another group Member ahead of time in order to avoid excessive absences.
- Membership in a Chamber Referral Group is limited to one organization in any given business classification. A participant can only belong to one Chamber Referral Group at a time.
- Referral Group meetings are to take place at Chamber or Member business locations only.
