Let us be straight with you. For structural engineers, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑

Prime Time doesn't operate where you are yet.
We have chapters across South Florida and none near you. Telling you to join would be bad advice. The rooms above are the real answer where you are. We can email you the one page version and let you know if we open near you.
