One seat per industry. Tell us about you and your business.
This is a formal application to become a member of Deschutes Business Networkers. Here's how the process works, step by step:
Visit DBN first
Prospective members attend one of our Thursday morning meetings before applying, so you can see how the group works and we can meet you.
Review the DBN membership policies
Membership carries participation, attendance, conduct, and referral obligations defined in the DBN membership policies. Please review them before submitting so you know what you're agreeing to.
Submit the Membership Application
This is a formal application for membership — not a visitor registration. Submitting it begins our review process and does not guarantee acceptance.
$100 nonrefundable application fee
After you apply, you'll be invoiced for the one-time $100 application fee. Your application will not be processed or reviewed until that invoice is paid.
Application review
DBN members and leadership review your application, including fit and industry-category considerations. One seat is held per industry.
Approval and annual dues
If your application is approved, annual membership dues are $600. Dues are only due upon acceptance — they are not charged before approval.

Has your license ever been revoked or suspended?
Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
Is this your primary occupation?
How did you hear about our networking group?
What are your primary goals for joining this networking group? (check all that apply)
Are you a member of another referral networking group?
DBN has a clearly defined attendance policy. You are allowed up to 3 absences within a rolling six month period. If you have a substitute, you are not considered absent. A substitute does not have to be from your office or business — they can be anyone willing to attend and speak on your behalf.
If you cannot attend a meeting, will you be able to have a substitute present?
Are you willing and able to commit to this attendance policy?
Each quarter DBN holds a Growth Day focused on increasing referrals. Are you willing to send invitations to people who would be a good fit?
