Profile guidelines
Every profile on Membership Builders is reviewed by our review committee before it is published. This page covers what the committee reviews, how review works, and what happens if something needs to change.
Content, language, and accuracy.
The committee reviews profiles for appropriate content and language, and verifies some claims and references. That is the whole review.
Purchasing doesn’t publish.
Buying a profile starts the process. Your profile goes live once the committee approves it.
We never change your profile.
Every edit is yours. If we can’t agree on a requested change, you get an immediate cancellation and a full refund.
From purchase to published.
Here is the path every new profile takes, Basic or Enhanced.
Purchase your Basic profile
$149 per year. Add-ons can be added now or later.
Build your profile
Onboarding walks you through each section of the profile form, with tips for each field.
Submit for review
When you are ready, submit. You can keep editing until you do.
Committee review
The committee reads the whole profile — bio, talks, photos, video, and links — for appropriate content and language, and verifies some of the claims and references for accuracy. If something needs changing, we explain why, you correct it and resubmit — sometimes a couple of times.
Published
Your profile, directory card, and map pin go live.
Review is a conversation, not a verdict.
If we haven’t published your profile, we tell you why. You correct it and resubmit. It may take a couple of rounds.

Published
Profile page, directory card, and map pin go live.
Steps two and three can go back and forth a couple of times. That’s normal, and it isn’t a mark against you.
We won’t change your profile. Ever.
The committee explains what needs to change. You decide whether and how to change it. Every word on your profile is yours.
You’re not locked in.
If you don’t agree with the changes we’ve requested and we can’t come to an agreement, your order is cancelled immediately and refunded in full.
No arguments. No questions asked.
Appropriate content and language, and accurate claims.
Review covers everything a visitor can see on your profile: your name and headline, bio, talk titles and descriptions, photos, videos, quotes, and links.
Restrictions are based only on appropriate content and language. They are set by the review committee and can change at the committee’s discretion. When they change, this page is updated.
Claims and references are verified.
The committee also verifies some of the claims and references on a profile for accuracy and integrity — the events, credentials, and results you cite. It isn’t a reflection on you. It’s common sense and due diligence, and it’s part of why program chairs can trust what they read here.
Questions about a specific item before you submit? Ask us
Recommendations, not requirements.
None of these affect approval. They are what program chairs tell us helps them decide.
A recent headshot
Face clearly visible, good light. It appears on your card, your profile, and your map pin.
Specifics over adjectives
One convention and what came of it beats a list of ten. Name the club, the district, the result.
One-sentence talk synopses
Say what the audience walks away with. Save the detail for the expanded description.
Video of you speaking
Even a few minutes from a club meeting helps a program chair picture you in their room.
Your home city
It places your pin on the speaker map, which is how districts find speakers close enough to drive.
A booking link that works
A calendar link or a monitored email address. Program chairs contact you directly.
The short answers.
Does buying a profile mean it will be published?
No. Purchasing a profile starts the process. It is published once the review committee approves it.
What happens if my profile is delayed?
We email you why it hasn’t been published and what needs to change. You correct it in your profile form and resubmit. This can go back and forth a couple of times.
Will the committee edit my profile?
No. We won’t change your profile, ever. We explain what needs to change; every edit is yours to make.
What if I don’t agree with a requested change?
If we can’t come to an agreement, you are entitled to an immediate cancellation and a full refund. No arguments. No questions asked.
What are the restrictions based on?
Appropriate content and language. The committee sets the standard and can change it at its discretion.
Will my claims be checked?
Some of them. The committee verifies some of the claims and references on a profile for accuracy and integrity. It isn’t a reflection on you — it’s common sense and due diligence.
