It is recommended, to facilitate group cohesiveness, that members meet with each other for breakfast/lunch etc. on a "one on one" basis. This accelerates getting to know one another and each other's company.
Group:
Roundtables are encouraged to meet at least monthly. Groups will become more productive more quickly if they meet more frequently for the first months. It is recommended they meet every two to three weeks initially.
Groups should find a regular meeting date, time, length etc. that does not regularly exclude a member because of a standing conflict.
Each roundtable operates with complete autonomy, developing its own objectives, priorities, agendas, meeting times, meeting dates, and meeting locations.
Non-members are allowed to attend meetings only by approval of the roundtable group.
Roundtables are not lead groups, their purpose is not to generate business among members, rather it is a place to share and gain management assistance.
