In 2011 our group created over $450,000 in business for each other, would you like to have a team of 40 salespeople building your business? Then we are the right place to start. Boulder LINQs was founded to promote the business interests of all the members. We act as ambassadors for fellow members in the wider business community. Membership is limited to one member from each business and professional classification. Attendance at meetings and socials is crucial to getting to know both one another and each others businesses. It is in that way that you may confidently recommend fellow members’ services. The group meets every Tuesday at the Boulder Country Club. We invite you to have lunch with us twice to see our members in action and decide if you are a good fit with the group.

Monthly Closed Meeting
On the first Tuesday of each month, we hold a closed meeting to discuss LINQS business, to have guest speakers, or to hold round table discussions. These meetings are for members only (no guests) and the member commercials will be condensed to simply stating name and reporting the number of leads passed. Monthly dues should be paid at the closed meeting.
Details
Pursuant to the LINQS Bylaws, each member is required to pass at least two (2) leads per month and may be absent for no more than one (1) meeting per quarter. Although a leave of absense may be requested for up to four weeks by making a formal request to the board members. During such leave dues would still be paid by member.
If you pass a lead to a member who is not present at that week’s meeting, please contact the member directly via phone or email to notify them of the referral.
Members of LINQS may not be members of any other similar networking organizations which function, in whole or in part, to facilitate the sharing or passing of business leads/referrals among its members. (See the Bylaws and Amendments thereto for further details).
It is your responsibility as a Boulder LINQS member to familiarize yourself with the organization’s Bylaws and to abide by them.
