It’s a new season here at the Bureau, and we’re excited to share a first look at what’s coming in 2025. The community’s feedback, along with insights from our newly formed Bureau Advisory Council, has helped shape this new season. Read on to learn about new membership options, our first-ever loyalty program, and the fate of your favorite in-person events!

The Bureau Has Something For You

 We've been hard at work trying to evolve the community to take you even higher and give you the support you need for the good and bad times ahead. Let's take a look.

New Membership Options (Coming in 2025)

  • Cruise Control: The most affordable Bureau membership at just $29/month. This includes a weekly Slack newsletter rounding up the hot topics, free admission to all online events, and access to our deep resource library.

  • Connect: Everything in Cruise Control plus full Slack access and discounts for in-person events.

  • Collaborate: Add to the Connect benefits with a new collaboration directory and a formal support process to find project partners. You’ll also get direct leads from the Bureau to bid on and have access to self-facilitated roundtables.

  • Concierge: Our top-tier, application-based option offers everything above as well as facilitated roundtables, monthly coaching calls, and personalized support. This includes M&A guidance and making related connections.

If your current membership fits your needs, you can stay right where you are. We should have pricing for all levels by the end of the year.

Signature Events and Their 2025 Status

Several of the online events still have a chance to become in-person events if they get enough deposits before the end of the year.

Taco-Based Rewards (Coming in 2025)

We’re rolling out a new, taco-themed rewards program as another great suggestion from the Bureau Advisory Council. Standard taco values will be assigned for a range of community contributions, including:

  • Every dollar you spend with the Bureau

  • Referring new members

  • Sharing qualified leads

  • Volunteering

  • Speaking at Bureau events

  • Attending online or in-person events

  • And more!

Earn tacos, and use them as Bureau Bucks. You can spend them on whatever the Bureau has that makes you happy. Including events, membership, or swag!

More Structure & More Support

You’ll notice a bit more structure next year. Instead of attending every event in person, I’ll focus on launching these initiatives and supporting our fantastic members. We’re here to make sure you have the best possible experience, however you connect with us.

Over the past 12 years, we’ve grown together as a community and supported each other through every challenge and opportunity. Now it’s time to take it even further. These new benefits, improved structures, and fresh approaches mean more meaningful connections and better results for everyone. I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together in 2025 and beyond.

And there's even more to share, but that needs to wait for next time!
