The Chapter Partnership Program is intended to meet the growing needs of our industry professionals and businesses. There is truly a place for every member company in this program, and recent program updates allow Partners even more flexibility with benefits. The Partnership Program provides one of the most direct forms of promotion, advertising, and networking available to companies in the community association industry. The Chapter receives tremendous financial support from our Chapter Partners and in turn is better able to work for the betterment and continuous advancement of the community association industry. Further, the increased revenue received from Chapter Partners often relieves committees of fundraising duties and enables them to better focus on the quality of the Chapter’s educational programming, networking events, and other member services.

Chapter Partners receive an unparalleled list of benefits. Many of the benefits are tangible, such as significantly enhanced advertising placements; Partner Dollars to spend on additional sponsorships, advertising or event registration; and special identification as Chapter Partners. Chapter Partners are recognized on signage at every event, listed in every piece of printed marketing material the Chapter develops, and offered repeated thanks and verbal recognition throughout the year.  Contact Sarah A. Patterson at or 703.750.3644 for Partnership Program rates and contracts.
