2. Membership

Home & Garden Club is a curated, invitation-led community.

Submitting a registration of interest, completing the Founding Member Insights, attending an event or engaging with the Club does not guarantee membership.

Membership is offered entirely at the discretion of Home & Garden Club.

When considering membership we may take into account factors including, but not limited to:

• relevance to the Club’s purpose
• seniority
• business sector
• business size
• geographic representation
• diversity of experience
• maintaining an appropriate balance within the membership community.

Our decisions regarding membership are final.

Founding Members are invited to contribute ideas, feedback and perspectives that help shape the development of the Club.

Any suggestions, ideas or feedback provided may be used by Home & Garden Club without restriction or compensation.

Participation as a Founding Member does not:

• confer ownership of the Club
• create any legal partnership

Members are expected to treat conversations with discretion.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, information shared by attendees during Club events should not be publicly attributed to individuals or organisations without permission.

Home & Garden Club cannot guarantee confidentiality between attendees but expects all members to respect the spirit of trusted peer-to-peer discussion.
