How the Group works:

Every Business is Important, no matter how large or small, no matter how many businesses are replicated in our group. TNG denies no one!

Even if you're the sole owner operator of your small business, there's no need for you to go it alone. Joining many networking groups allows you to interact with like-minded people who can be invaluable sources of information and support - and increase your business success.

TNG Expansion Chapters
TNG is expanding based on YOUR requests! Currently TNG has Chapters in Mt. Dora, The Villages and a third slated to open in January in Windermere. Additionally, we are working on plans to create Wekive, Longwood, Heathrow, Sanford and Lake Mary Chapters and many more! If there is not a Chapter in your area contact Founder, Cyndi Long for details on how to get one started!

Benefits of Networking
Tangerine Networking Group offers its members the chance to present their business to our expanding group. Through our TNG web site, members have their businesses listed on our "TNG Members" directory for a low annual dues: Advertising both your business information and description, business specials, web and E-mail links. Members will receive a receipt for their web membership for tax deduction purposes.

TNG Chapters Meet from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
A weekly $5 host fee at the door covers coffee, tea and breakfast munchies provided for TNG by the host location. Please bring cash only for the host fees (no checks). Doors open at 7:30, be early to get a seat...we fill up FAST!

How TNG Operates
Each members should pay the weekly Host Fee and drop their business card in the basket. If a member does not have a card a sign in sheet will be available. There is an annual membership fee of $75 to join, this fee includes a member listing on the TNG Members Directory website.

The Group is Called to Order
At 8:00 a.m., Founder Cyndi Long (or Chapter Facilitator) opens the meeting by introducing themselves, welcoming new members, giving information about the Tangerine Networking Group and any upcoming events or promotions. Each member will then introduce themselves and their business TNG Speed Networking style! This is also the time for members to give or get "kudos" from other members as we all do business together! The goal of each meeting is to complete the Speed Networking Introductions in time to give members the remaining time to connect with each other! Fast, Effective and Simple!

Meetings & Attendance
Unlike some networking groups, TNG does not require attendance at every meeting. Business comes first! When a client calls they come first! When your schedule allows attend the meetings. Members who attend on a regular basis are the MOST successful as building relationships is crucial and there are new members every week!

Each Chapter is unique, but on average there are 30-60 attending members a week. It is very important that each member arrive on time and limit their introductions to 30 seconds. This allows time for all of our members to speak and networking connections to be made, before we adjourn at 9am.

TNG Member Email Blasts
Paid TNG Members may participate in the weekly "Member Announcement" email Blasts. TNG will send out two email blasts a week per chapter. One will consist if an invitation / reminder of the next meeting; the other will normally be sent on the same day as the chapters meeting and these are member paid announcements. Blasts are scheduled on a "first pay basis" and are scheduled accordingly. There are some exceptions to this rule such as time sensitive items like event reminders for TNG After Hours, etc. If you are interested in advertising to TNG Members please contact the TNG office at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Prices for blasts start as low as $25 per blast! (TNG reserves the right to refuse any blast submission deemed inappropriate)
