ProVisors® (founded as Professionals Network Group, Inc. or PNG) is the nation's preeminent professional resource organization. ProVisors' members are senior-level trusted advisors who serve companies ranging from small to the Fortune 500, with an emphasis on the middle market, their owners and other high net worth individuals. 

If you are interested in finding out more about ProVisors, please click here to complete a Prospective Member Questionnaire. The questionnaire will assist us to find the most appropriate group for you to attend as a guest based on your profession/specialty and geographical preferences. The Prospective Member Questionnaire is NOT an application for membership. It is the first step for a prospective member to visit a ProVisors group to determine if he/she wants to join.

ProVisors has a non-solicitation policy. For more information about this policy, please review Section 18 of the Member Handbook (found on the website under Prospect/Member Information) BEFORE you attend a meeting as a guest.  ProVisors members do business with each other's clients. In fact, this is one of the hallmarks of ProVisors - that  members do not sell to each other. Direct and/or persistent soliciting of business and unsolicited distribution of marketing materials to other members is not only frowned upon, but may be grounds for expulsion.  We are committed to safeguarding open communication and appropriate sharing among members.

Prospective members may guest up to three (3) times at ProVisors group meetings over a two (2) month period prior to making a decision to join. ProVisors membership will be backdated to your first meeting as a guest, even if the attendance is at a group not joined. If you attend an affinity group meeting, that attendance counts as part of your guesting opportunities.

When you attend a group meeting and find a group you would like to join, the first step is to tell the Group Leader or the ProVisors office. The Group Leader and Executive Committee will determine if they wish to extend an application to you. If so, you will be asked to complete a ProVisors Membership Application. If the group decides not to extend an application to you, the ProVisors office will try to find another group for you to attend as a guest. Annual membership dues are $1200. Dues are payable in FULL when completing the Membership Application to join.

ProVisors Membership is a Competitive Advantage

Accountable Resources

ProVisors members are successful professionals who invite the highest level of scrutiny. Our culture of peer-based accountability ensures that members and their clients can depend on the integrity and competence of professionals who belong to ProVisors.

Creative Collaboration

ProVisors members regularly team together to bring sophisticated solutions to their clients. As ProVisors professionals gain knowledge about each other's specialties, they proactively develop ways to work together to bring higher level results to their clients.

Deep Relationships

Monthly group meetings (mostly in conference rooms of professional firms, over coffee and a light breakfast) make it easy to keep up with 25-40 fellow members. At each meeting members are assigned to a "troika", which enables three or four members or guests to get to know each other in more depth over breakfast, lunch or coffee during the month following the meeting.

Amazing access

Whatever need a member, their colleagues, or clients have, solutions can undoubtedly be found in the “needs, deals, and wants” segment of a ProVisors meeting; by calling always-responsive fellow members; or through ProVisors' website and weekly broadcast emails.

Relevant knowledge

Through presentations and discussions at ProVisors meetings and interacting ProVisors members, members learn what’s new and emerging in other professions, other specialties, other market segments. In these dialogues, the seeds of multi-disciplinary solutions are often sown.

Quality Referrals

As members get to know and trust each other, they become each other's valuable resources and referrals, for the mutual benefit of their clients and themselves.

Wide relationships

Members may guest at other ProVisors groups up to three times per year per group. Members from many groups network at ProVisors-organized mixers and social events.

Valuable skills

Through “boot camps,” a mentor program, and contact with other members, you sharpen your communication, networking, and marketing skills. As a result, many members have made significant advances in their professions.

New friendships

ProVisors members have become close friends, far beyond business. Members and their families have pursued mutual interests in the arts, sports, hobbies, travel, philanthropy, and more.
