FAQs

Who can I refer?

You can refer senior professionals, executives, and business leaders who would benefit from Exec Club’s powerful network. Candidates should have significant P&L oversight, team management experience, or hold a role equivalent to Director, VP, or above. Currently, 40% of our membership consists of C-level executives, business owners, or partners.

Please note, our referral program applies only to new, non-member referrals and does not apply to current colleagues if your organization holds a corporate membership package with Exec Club.

How will I know if my referral was successful?

Our membership team will notify you once your referral officially joins. Stay tuned—we’ll also keep you updated if you win the raffle!

How long will this offer last?

Exec Club’s Share The Value runs throughout March 2025. Referral submissions are due by March 31, 2025 at 5pm CT.

How do I redeem my free event ticket?

For each successful referral, you’ll receive a free event ticket to use at an eligible Exec Club event.

  • Automatically Applied: Tickets are automatically redeemed the next time you register for a Signature Series event. You cannot “save” your ticket for a future event, as the system automatically applies the ticket to your very next Signature Series registration.
  • Redemption Window: Tickets must be used within 12 months from the date your referral officially joins.
  • Event Eligibility: The ticket is valid for any Exec Club-hosted event within that timeframe (exclusions may apply to premium or partner-hosted events).
  • Non-Transferable: The ticket is valid only for the referring member and cannot be transferred.
  • Redemption Process: Members must register in advance to claim their free ticket.
  • No-Show Policy: If a member registers using a free ticket but does not attend without prior cancellation, the ticket may be forfeited.
