Membership Information

Rochester Professional Consultants Network is an education and support organization for individuals in consulting. Most of our members have their own independent consulting practices, while a few are employees of larger organizations.

RPCN is a not-for-profit educational organization that operates under a set of by­laws and is governed by a Board of Directors. All elected officers and appointed members of the Board serve without compensation.

RPCN holds four meetings each month. Meetings are held at 8:00 a.m. on Friday mornings. On the second and fourth Friday we feature a speaker, workshop, or other educational program. “Speaker meetings” are usually held at the Brighton Town Hall, 2300 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, (although be sure to check the Event Page for location changes). There is a minimal charge for these meetings. Occasional meetings are luncheon or dinner events with a meal and a speaker.

On the first and third Fridays of each month (at 8:00 a.m.) we hold informal "forums," led by a professional facilitator. Currently we meet at the Pittsford Public Library. There is no charge for these forums and everyone is welcome. At the “Technical” forum (1st Friday), attendees ask questions about technical issues  the other attendees, who may have had and solved similar problems, provide the answers.  At the “Business” forum (3rd Friday), the questions are about consulting business issues. The answer format is the same. All meetings are open to the public; everyone is welcome to attend. The forums are very popular because of the friendly atmosphere and the great deal of valuable information gained by the participants. For more information, see 'Events."

A low-cost membership is available to those who wish only to receive the newsletter and to support the organization.
