GMIS Membership Referral Program
GMIS International needs your help to spread the word concerning the benefits of GMIS Membership. The GMIS Membership Referral Program offers you an opportunity to do just that and potentially benefit your organization as well.
For every new member you refer who completes their membership for GMIS International you will receive one-half off your organization's Annual Membership cost up to two referrals. The new member must join and complete dues payment
and then your membership payment for the Membership year will be credited. For two successful referrals your organization's membership cost could be zero!
When you refer the members, they will also receive one half off the cost of their membership for the first year, so make that offer! For the third referral and each referral thereafter, your organization is placed in a drawing
for free GMIS MEETS registration and travel stipend.
