Membership Application Form

Consultant's Upgrade Package          $100/$150 annual fee in addition to individual membership costs
This is not strictly a class of membership, but an add-on package to individual membership which allows consulting companies consisting of just one or two people to take advantage of ALMA marketing opportunities. It is not an alternative to full membership for consultants who offer a product, or have multiple partners / employees / contractors.

The package includes:

• Profile (up to 100 words) and link to your website in the member listing on the website (we will add a "consultants" section)
• Inclusion in Buyer's guide under "consultants" (sub-categories to be added as appropriate)
• Company name included on name badge at ALMA events
• Eligible to purchase booth space at the ALMA shows at the normal member rates
• Eligible to advertise in ALMA News at member rates

Fee: $100/year for a single consultant and $150/year for a partnership.

This is in addition to the individual membership fee. This is purely a marketing / promotional add-on package, and does not include board nomination or voting rights.

Eligibility: Consultant companies with only one or two people, who do not offer or re-sell a product (i.e. all they sell is their time). Any consultancy firm which offers a product, or has more than 2 partners/employees must join as a full member to receive promotional membership benefits. Consultant must be an individual member in good standing to purchase this promotional package. If consultancy company consists of two people, the partnership rate must be paid. Note that the eligibility critera will be strictly applied in all cases.
