I'm new here and was looking for some advice on getting membership of the Chairman's Lounge. I understand its very difficult to achieve but am nevertheless looking for some tips. I realise (from a previous discussion) that there can be an element of the w@nker factor associated with the Chairman's Lounge, but any help would be gratefully received.
By way of info, my case is as follows:
- Platinum member for only 2 years
- Regional Finance Director of Au / NZ / Asian business of a large US brand (do you need to be CFO or is FD enough ?)
- Travel budget for the business about AU$750k. (Not sure if this is enough to cut the mustard with Geoff and Margaret.)
- I have a number of upcoming Asian trips coming up (4+) and wouldn't mind getting CL status for those (who wouldn't ?). Flights not yet booked.
Advice wanted:
1. Do I have any chance of CL membership ?
2. Is it true you need to be invited ?
3. If you need to be invited, how do you get 'noticed' and invited ?
4. Any other tips on how to solicit an invitation ?
5. What's the best way to go about trying to get membership ?
6. Any stories from anyone who has become a CL member or who has been rejected ?
