INDUSTRY PARTNER MEMBERSHIP

The ARALA is pleased to announce a new type (began in 2005) of Association membership called Industry Partner Member. In the past, membership was limited to licensed facilities and individual persons that had an interest in the industry. The Association has recognized the contribution and needs of the organizations that affect this industry and have tailored this membership type to help meet those needs.

The benefits of the Industry Partner membership will include:

§ The Industry Partner Member will receive notification of and access to ARALA functions at member prices for as many persons as they wish to have attend. With an Associate Membership, the person is the member and only that person is allowed to receive member prices.

§ Access to ARALA mailing lists. The Association has not been free with our lists limiting them to members or exhibitors at the trade show.

§ One free ad in the Association’s monthly newsletter the ARALA Advisor. The Advisor is the primary method of informing members of news that affects the industry so it is well read in the Association.

§ A space on this website (www.arala.net) in the Sponsorship section where sponsors could provide links to specials or information on goods and services of use to the industry. An Industry Partner Member can place their logo or a picture of a product and a few lines of text about their products or organization. Also, this website has been very active since we have links and information that facilities need on the website to assist them so sponsors can be assured their information is being seen.

§ At least a $100 discount on booth space at the trade show. The booth space cost was $350 at this year’s trade show. It is important to know that we encourage our conference attendees to visit the exhibits with the use of door-prizes and continuing education credits.

Eligible entities for Industry Partner Membership would include organizations that do business with or have an interest in the Residential Care and/or Assisted Living industry and do not have an ownership position in a Residential Care Facility or an Assisted Living Facility.

The cost for the Industry Partner membership is $250 per year. Memberships are for the one year. Please complete and return the application today. We anticipate the opportunity of working with you.
