Membership

10 Benefits of Joining the Network

Real introductions, real promotion, and real perks — from the day you join.

Added to the Member Roster

Your name goes into our Member Roster, Membership Directory, and Mailing Labels, so every member knows you exist and how to reach you.

Welcome Letter and full roster

Once you join, we email you a Welcome Letter along with the complete Membership Roster for your personal use.

Introduction to every member

We send you a BIO/Profile to fill out (optional). Once you return it, we email your profile to all our members — introducing you, sharing how we met, and explaining what you offer.

10 Credit

Credit toward your first luncheon

Your first luncheon — whether 2nd or 4th Thursday — comes with a $10 credit on us. A small thank-you for showing up.

We promote your special offers

Have a special offer, event, or promotion? Just ask — we'll email it out to our entire member network on your behalf.

Access to the member mailing list

By request, you can receive our mailing list for your personal business use.

A Two-Way Street

What we ask of members.

Membership works best when everyone shows up for it. These are the small commitments that keep the network strong — and the businesses inside it growing.

8 simple commitments

  1. Check your email daily

    Most of our updates, invitations, and member announcements come by email — staying current keeps you in the loop.

  2. Complete your business profile

    Send back your BIO/Profile as soon as you can so we can introduce you to the rest of the network.

  3. Show up when you can

    Attend monthly luncheons, community expos, and SBA-sponsored events whenever your schedule allows.

  4. Display our logo

    Show the network logo at your business location so customers know you're part of our community.

  5. Help distribute the Smyrna Guide

    Pass copies along to friends, neighbors, and customers — the more hands it reaches, the more local businesses benefit.

  6. Spread the word

    Talk about our network in your own circles and take an active part in helping it grow.

  7. Offer something generous

    Create a member-only offer or discount — something that reflects a giving attitude toward the network.

  8. Keep a network portfolio

    Hold onto luncheon attendee lists, new member intros, event notices, and newsletters as useful references over time.

The Bigger Idea

Membership in the Gary Hill Network isn't transactional. It's built on the principle that giving comes before receiving — that when local business owners look out for each other, the whole community benefits.

That's why we're built around real, in-person gatherings, real introductions, and real referrals. Not just a logo on a website.
