Corporate Membership Offer: Chicago Chapter:
For businesses that desire four or more memberships, BMA is offering a special corporate rate structure of $250.00 per person. All BMA members within a corporate membership will enjoy all rights and privileges, including member access to www.marketing.org, and access to member services such as industry surveys and white papers. Corporate members can serve on the Board of Directors, hold office in the Chicago Chapter, pay the member rate for conferences and meeting attendance, and be listed in the membership directory, both national and local. Corporate memberships provide a reduced rate per person to companies who wish to have several of their employees participate in the BMA. Corporate memberships are transferable within the respective companies. Companies receive the member rates for BMA programs for any number of employees up to the designated number on the corporate account. All corporate memberships are held by the corporation and not by the individual member. 

Current members of BMA can count toward corporate membership. However, no dues refunds will be issued for these members. The renewal date for these individual members will just become the date of corporate membership. (Dues are discounted at the national level.) The cost for individual BMA membership continues at $270.00 per year.

Corporate members are also entitled to participate in the Chapter’s Five Star deal. This program provides members with prepaid discounts on all luncheons, express check-in at chapter events and a Tower Award entry.
