Volunteers, Committees and Organizational Chart

In order to ensure that we provide a good deal of benefit for our membership dollars, we have established committees to help build the organization.  Leaders of those committees serve on the Advisory Committee.   This is being restructured in the first quarter of 2010.   

Vendor Membership Offers Extended and Tangible Benefits

Vendors are important participants in any association and the Two Rivers REIA is no exception.  Our members enjoy learning about products offered from say, "ABC Discount Flooring Solutions" yet we charge a fee for the privilege.  Vendors must join before they will be offered the opportunity to provide literature or to do a presentation.  We ask that vendors not distribute business cards, property flyers, etc. during meetings until they have, at least, paid membership dues.    

Should a Vendor wish to participate as both a member and a vendor, we ask that they elevate their membership status by paying the $50 bump-up fee (effective April 14, 2009 -  this is a drop of $50 in this fee).  This is fair to those Vendors who have already made the same investment.  Realtors, attorneys, CPA's, bankers, lenders, contractors, materials suppliers, property wholesalers, retailers, investing gurus -- all have a story to tell, about their company, their services and/or their products -- and usually something to sell.  We want to hear that story, especially if it can help us save money, yet we charge for the privilege.

Vendors who support our organization earn the right to be the sole vendor at an investor's expo, or at a minimum, receive preferential treatment for booth or exhibit space.  We expect our Two Rivers REIA of Central Iowa will grow over time, which should provide a cost effective audience for our Vendor members to present their products or services.   

Does that sound fair? We hope so.  Party on.
