Path to Membership
Joining ABM begins with a conversation and develops through relationships. Membership cannot simply be purchased. It is extended by invitation to people whom ABM Members believe will strengthen the community.
1. Meet Us
Let's connect.
We want to learn about you, your work, what matters to you, and the opportunities you hope to create.
This conversation also gives you the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about ABM, and determine whether it aligns with your priorities before meeting the community.
2. Attend as a Guest
If we believe there is potential for mutual value, we will invite you to attend one of our Online Connectors as our guest.
This is not a presentation or a networking event. You will participate in up to five private, curated conversations with ABM Members who have chosen to make themselves available to meet with you.
As our guest, you are one of the most important participants in the Connector.
Every new participant changes the conversation. Your presence adds energy, new information, and depth to the dialogue, creating insights and opening pathways that none of us could have anticipated on our own.
We will curate your schedule with ABM Members who are at the heart of the community, whose work and experience are relevant to your interests and who exemplify the culture of dialogue, friendship, and collaboration that defines ABM. During these conversations, you will learn about ABM directly from the people who have built it while sharing your own priorities, opportunities, and aspirations. Together, you will discover whether there is a strong foundation for an ongoing relationship.
Trust, respect, and accountability are the currency. This is where meaningful opportunities begin, and for those who are the right fit, they often begin immediately.
There is no expectation that you will become a member. Some guests choose to continue their journey with ABM, while others participate only once. In every case, the exchange is grounded in mutual respect, genuine curiosity, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships.
3. Membership by Invitation
Following your Online Connector, ABM Members share whether they believe you would strengthen the community. If they recommend that we extend a membership invitation, we will send one to you. At that point, the decision is entirely yours.
Membership begins at $2,900 annually, with additional participation options for the Annual Community Gathering and Uncensored Dialogue Forums. This allows you to choose the level of engagement that best reflects how you want to participate in the ABM Community.
We do not pursue prospective members or repeatedly follow up. If we do not hear from you within a couple of weeks, we simply withdraw the invitation. If the timing is right in the future, we are always happy to reconnect.
