Bizroom / Chapters / Become a director
Chapter directors
Become a Bizroom chapter director.
Be the name and face of business in your city. Directors bring local owners together, host the rooms and become the person owners come to first. New chapters are coming soon, and Bizroom brings the plan: the platform, the video, billing, training and a playbook for growing your chapter.
The role
What a director does
Fill the rooms
Invite owners you know, reach out to the businesses members ask for, and review every application from your city.
Host
Open each Networking Room, keep the clock, and make sure everyone gets their full time to present.
Connect people
Introduce members who should be talking, and nudge the follow-ups so rooms turn into business.
Grow the chapter
Help members join Small Groups, run chapter happy hours, and team up with nearby chapters for crossover rooms.
What you get
Why directors do it
A share of your chapter's dues
You earn a share of every Member and Pro membership in your chapter, every month. Your percentage is discussed and set for your chapter.
Your own seat in the room
You present in your chapter's rooms like every member, in the same slot and for the same amount of time.
The person owners call
You become the connector in your city: the one owners ask when they need a lender, a lawyer or a good roofer.
Everything behind the scenes
Bizroom provides the platform, video rooms, scheduling, billing, the chapter playbook and director training.
Who it fits
- You know a lot of people in your city, or you're good at meeting them.
- You can give a few hours every week to recruiting, hosting and follow-up.
- You're organized and you follow through.
- You don't have to own a business. The job is bringing owners together.
What a chapter could earn you
An example to help you picture it, not a promise of earnings. Each director’s share is discussed and set for that chapter, so it can vary from chapter to chapter; 50% is shown as a starting example. It uses list prices; founding Pro members pay $49 a month, and Free members don’t pay dues.

Do I need to own a business to be a director?
No. The job is filling rooms, hosting and connecting people. Many good directors are simply well connected in their city.
Is this a franchise?
No. Bizroom runs every chapter on one platform. You lead your city's chapter and share in its membership dues.
How much does a director earn?
Directors earn a share of their chapter's Member and Pro dues every month. The percentage is discussed and set for each chapter, usually during the interview, so it can vary from chapter to chapter.
How much time does it take?
Plan on a few hours every week: inviting owners, reviewing applications, hosting rooms and following up with members.
Can I lead more than one city?
Chapters are city-level so directors can be known locally. Start with one, and talk with us if a nearby city needs a director too.
Do I have to build the chapter from scratch?
No. The plan is already in place. Bizroom brings the platform, the room format, training and the playbook. You bring the relationships, and we help you grow the chapter from its first room.
