Member transparency
Where your $1,000 actually goes.
This page exists because members asked. Dues are itemized, published, and reviewed quarterly — including the part we keep.
The principle
Published, not vague.
Most marketing agreements hand you one number and a retainer description. We publish the split instead. If a line grows, you can ask why, and we have to answer with an invoice.

The last line is company margin. We show it deliberately instead of folding it into the other five. It funds the people running the chapter and the reserve for opening the next one, and it's reviewed with members every quarter.

On the proposal
FAQ
Straight answers.
Does the allocation change by chapter?
Line items stay the same. Dollar weights shift with local media costs. Every chapter publishes its own split.
Who audits this?
Spend is reviewed quarterly with the chapter. Members see the marketing invoices and the platform costs behind each line.
Why show the margin at all?
Because every vendor has one. Hiding it inside a vague retainer is how per-lead pricing got its reputation.
