We have tried to make the joining process as easy as possible especially given the wide geographical spread of our membership.  We handle the initial interface and joining process wherever possible through online and telephone contact.  Most new members are able to make their decision this way.

the process

• READ THE CMR WEBSITE  We start by asking you to read as much of our website as possible, and if there are any specific questions you have - to pose them by email initially.  We will update the FAQ section of our website as appropriate - we would like to get to the point where all reasonable questions have the answer already on the website.

• SEND EMAIL APPLICATION  If all looks good and you would like to join us - please email Mike Downey, Managing Director at cmr@cmrworld.com attaching your CV/resume and contact details.

• DISCUSSION  We will review and contact you to discuss your application and background, and to answer any other questions you may have, to explain the joining and inception process further, and to discuss which level of membership is appropriate.  We hope to be able to cover all the important issues efficiently in this way.

• FORMAL INVITATION  If it is mutually agreed that joining is a good idea, you will be formally invited and sent the official CMR joining pack - this includes an ethical/confidentiality agreement for you to sign, and membership documentation.

• JOINING ACTION  Send the completed forms back online and upon receipt you will be contacted again to welcome you onboard, and to discuss which of the CMR Teams (Regional, Special Business Groups, Affinity Groups) you would like to join.  You will be given the CMR Intranet passwords giving full access to our website, and CMR Operations Manual.  You will also be able to order CMR business cards.

• GETTING STARTED  You are now fully part of CMR and can be immediately effective in using CMR's resources to develop business and consultancy income.  There is no waiting period - you can become active immediately.  You will start receiving details of all new client business coming into CMR (we have a continuous stream throughout the world) and will be able to indicate your interest in being involved as appropriate.

We look forward to welcoming you on board!
