| Membre type | Members are family-owned companies in the Grand Rapids region across a wide size range. The dues scale runs from a Small Business tier restricted to firms under $3 million in annual revenue up to a $10,000 Community tier, so both very small family firms and substantial regional employers sit in the same organisation. Peer groups also admit non-family key executives. | Members are individual real estate investors (flippers, wholesalers, buy-and-hold landlords, lenders, short-term rental operators) at a range of experience levels, alongside business members such as contractors, lenders and property managers who buy the paid business tiers. |
