Dear Friend of IFMA,
Today, we are proud to announce that enrollment in the IFMA Philadelphia Gold Circle Patron Program for 2010 is now open.
Gold Circle contributors enable our Chapter to not only help keep our members' costs down, but also to provide additional member services, educational and networking opportunities, and community support that otherwise would not be possible. It is our goal to continually improve and expand Chapter programs to meet the needs of members. This program provides a unique opportunity to provide visibility for your organization, products and services while also investing in our industry by sponsoring the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of IFMA activities for 2010. We have added some exciting benefits to the Gold Circle Plus program so please take a moment to take a look!
Joining IFMA Philly's Gold Circle entitles yoru company to many benefits. We know that our members can be hard to reach so several benefits include continuous and varied advertising and recognition throughout the entire year. We have re-vamped the Gold Circle program for 2010 and believe that the new benefits will greatly increase Gold Circle company's visibility and access to the membership. In addition, the Chapter recognizes the tough economic times facing the country, region, and our Gold Circle sponsors in 2009/2010. For that reason, we will offer, for the calendar year 2010 only, a 10% discount for returning Gold Circle Plus sponsors or for Gold Circle Patrons upgrading to our exciting new Gold Circle Plus benefits. We will resume the regular sponsorship fees in 2011.
For the 2010 calendar year, the Gold Circle Patron contribution is:
Please note that Gold Circle Plus patrons will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis and spots are limited. As part of our new program for 2010, we have added a discounted rate for renewing Gold Circle patrons and Gold Circle Patrons looking to upgrade Gold Circle Plus. To ensure you receive all of the benefits the program has to offer, there is a final cut-off date of January 31, 2010. The benefits are fully listed on the attached flyer.
We hope that you agree this program allows your organization to stay connected as a supporter of the Internation Award of Excellence winner of "Large Chapter of the Year" with a professional association of 300+ local members and their companies. IFMA members have traditionally demonstrated a loyalty to those who help support their Chapter. Here's your opportunity to earn that loyalty.
Please feel free to call me at (215) 991-4024 or e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
Sincerely,
Scott Binder, CFM
