He specifically designed the RGA model as a place for members to get to like, know, and most importantly TRUST each other. RGA has a family-friendly, inclusive environment that is also professional and respectful of people's time. The RGA framework provides the tools that today’s busy professionals need: The ability to be spotlighted and speak for 15 minutes at any of our in-person or virtual meetings. This gives members the ability to create exposure beyond any one meeting or group. Collaboration, not competition. RGA networking meetings are not seat-specific. We believe in building relationships with people that you come to know, like and trust. Referrals are voluntary. Referrals are based on those relationships and the value you create and share, not required quotas. No mandatory attendance policy. We know you’re busy and don’t expect you to attend every meeting. However, as with any networking, the more consistent you are, the easier it is for people to get to know you. Regular professional and social events like our Annual Conference & Business Expo, monthly mixers, and educational retreats where members have the opportunity to expand their reach. We create resources for our members! From SEO-optimized directory listings to our two podcasts, authoring opportunities, TV interviews, and regular speaking opportunities, the RGA team continually brings resources, programs and opportunities to the table for our members.
