The Process
1. Check Available Business Categories
Check our members’ directory to find out if your business category is available. We only accept one business per category to avoid conflicts of interest.
3. Submit an Application
During your visit at one of our breakfast meetings, we will give you a brief application to complete that outlines some details about your business. Our Board of Directors will review your application to ensure a good fit and maintain the integrity of the group.
2. Visit a Meeting
Prospective members are invited to attend one of our weekly breakfast meetings to get a feel for the group. Meetings take place every Wednesday from 7–8 a.m. at Casa de Bandini, located at The Forum in Carlsbad. You may attend as a guest, your first visit is on us! If you don’t know any of the existing members, please use the contact form on this page to request an invitation. Our Membership Coordinator will get in touch with you and coordinate your visit.
4. Get Voted In
New members are approved by a simple vote by the group. Once approved, you’ll be welcomed into EBX and introduced as our newest member.
