Frequently Asked Questions

Elite Business Connections is a referral-based, category-exclusive networking group based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. We meet weekly to build trusted relationships and help each other grow our businesses through intentional referrals and one-to-one connections.

EBC is open to business owners and professionals who are highly motivated to grow their business and actively refer others. Only one person per business category is accepted, ensuring exclusivity and focus.

We meet every Tuesday from 7:15 AM to 8:30 AM at the NIBCA Conference Room, located at 1928 N. Fourth Street, Coeur d’Alene, ID.

Annual membership is $250, due upon joining and each year on your membership anniversary. This fee is non-refundable.

Members are expected to attend weekly meetings and can miss no more than 3 meetings in a 6-month period. If you can’t attend, you may send a qualified guest or substitute to represent your category.

A qualified guest is someone who could potentially fill an open category within EBC. If they attend on your behalf, it counts as an excused absence.

• A referral is a new business connection you actively make for another member (not a repeat or existing client).
