Occasionally on this site we will refer to "Tiers" of BPN membership. A brief overview of the different levels of membership on The Best Practices Network (BPN) Website is as follows:

Tier IV — Any interior designer or decorator committed to sharing ideas with others in a positive and open way, may "Sign UP" at www.desingingprofits.com. This will allow them to create a profile online, "friend" other members, read David Shepherd's blog and receive discounts to events. 

Tier III — Any interior designer signed up at the site may also join The Business School. Business School members have access to a catalog of online courses, periodic Webinars, and receive deeper discounts to events. Tier III Members pay $47 per month. (This was previously related to The Business of Design Magazine which has been temporarily halted in favor of building out The Business School Catalog.)

Tier II — These members receive all of the benefits described above as well as an invitation to attend the annual Winter Conference for Design Excellence for $2,495. Tier II members pay $127 per month.

Tier I — These elite members enjoy all of the benefits above but pay nothing to attend both semi-annual conferences. They also have a dedicated "Group" online at www.designingprofits.com where they can engage each other in confidential forums and chats, and where they have unrestricted access to David Shepherd. Tier I is limited to 100 members nationwide and prospective members must go through an application process.
