Frequently Asked Questions
Locations are selected by 20 Group members. Many groups schedule meetings in a member city to conduct an onsite review and critique of the hosting company’s operation. This popular practice proves as valuable to the visitors as it is to the host. Additionally, many 20 Groups meet in destination locations and bring their spouses and families. Some groups even schedule special activities for their families.
The group members work together to decide what topics should be on the next meeting’s agenda. Most groups elect an executive committee or chairpeople who work with the group’s moderator to build out the agenda and organize the meetings.
We provide Marine Dealer 20 Group members with a secure communication portal and group list. Communicating between meetings is just like sending an email through your preferred email platform.
