MAX Connect Membership

Membership: MAX Connect - Elevating Your Professional Network

Our new program MAX Connect is a moderated subscription-based email platform connecting all levels of career professionals within our community (Senior Executive, Mid-career, Early-career, graduating students). MAX Connect is designed to harness the power of our community to foster a stronger, more supportive professional network within the MAX Community.

Objective: MAX Connect is designed to support the specific professional and business needs of professionals across various industries. Our platform connects you with a diverse pool of experienced individuals within the MAX Network, fostering genuine connections that can make a significant impact with just a couple of responses per person throughout the year.

Submission Format: Each request follows a concise and structured format:

• Name:

• Title:

• Company:

• Request (Not exceeding 2 sentences or 200 characters):

• Your Email to Respond To:

How MAX Connect Works: MAX Connect operates as a streamlined and moderated subscription email list, delivering your targeted requests within our network to the inboxes of all members. Requests can cover job opportunities, business connections, or career-focused discussions. Responses are entirely optional for members, in order to generate authentic engagement.

This carefully moderated subscription-based email platform is set up through Google Groups.

We have seeded the group with senior executives, providing a unique opportunity for early to mid-level career professionals to connect with experienced leaders. Once you are subscribed to the list, you can send a request. To send your request, you will email (email to be provided upon purchasing the subscription), which will send your request to the wide network of early to mid-level professionals and senior executives. Responses will come from those best suited to address your request, but please note that we can’t guarantee a response, as it depends on the network’s ability to assist with your specific inquiry.

Position yourself for active professional development with MAX Connect, offering a unique pathway to the experience and acumen of industry leaders. The cost of an annual membership to MAX Connect is $99.
