| Application process | Candidates apply online to a specific council. A selection committee reviews the application against the published criteria and, if approved, issues a membership invitation.

If there is one, they are invited to attend a luncheon meeting and decide whether the group fits. Admission depends on the classification being open and on meeting the owner or decision-maker test and the two-year trading requirement. |
