Members bringing a guest should introduce them to the Meeting Director  for breakfast order, rules, what to expect, information, costs and weekly payment and next steps to be taken, then introduces to other board members and members as well, and finally, get them seated.  Explain that they will be giving their elevator speech last, after all other members.  In this way, they know what is expected and have time to prepare theirs.
