Dues for the Pinnacle Society are $750 per year and members are required to attend a certain number of our semi-annual meetings in April and October. The cost of the conferences (currently also around $750) is not included in the membership fee. The Pinnacle Society only accepts into its membership those persons who:

  1. Place candidates permanently on a contingency or contingency/retainer basis for a fee.
  2. Have a minimum of five years experience as a Sales Counselor/Manager/Owner in the permanent contingency or retainer placement business. Non-owners must be nominated for Pinnacle Society membership by his/her owner or by a Pinnacle Society member
  3. Have cash-in greater than $400,000 annually for three of the five most recent sales years.

Pinnacle is a participatory society. The bylaws carry an attendance requirement that does not mandate attendance at all meetings but the greatest mutual value is to have the members attend as often as possible.

Please note that all applicants will be required to provide business reference and proof of billings.
