Matching:
Successful matching completes the process! Once activated, the online matching function compares specific areas of a profile to potential individual or organization profiles and provides a ranked ordered list according to the percentage of match between the two profiles. Either party is able to send a personal message to a potential match, which includes a link to the sender’s profile. The recipient can select “Let’s Talk” and arrange for an in-person meeting or “Sorry” to decline the offer. The system helps members keep track of potential matches. We also host mixer events designed to help our members meet prospects. Check the calendar for these dates.
