Q: What types of benefits are offered in the form of networking?

These are all free of charge only to Preferred Vendor Members.
Q: Why are your membership dues so much more expensive than other memberships?
A: The cost of our membership is directly tied to the exclusive ratio that we offer to our members. We are the ONLY association in the U.S. that offers this exclusive ratio. This provides our Preferred Vendor Members move one-on-one time with our hotel members. In addition, we do not charge for you to have a booth at any luncheon or event. We have a distribution list of approximately 750 hotels both members and non members in the North Texas region. These hotels are sent invitations to all association events. If they bring one to two people per hotel, that is potentially 750 to 1,500 patrons that you could showcase your services to. Also, our newest member benefit; in partnership with the Dallas Morning News and MONSTER to provide free annual job postings to all members on dmn.com and MONSTER.com. This will be in addition to the free job postings on the Association Website Career Center. An example of the outstanding benefit from this partnership: It currently costs $396 per 1-30 day job posting on DMN.com / MONSTER.com. If a member had 21 jobs to post in one year that cost would be $6825. In comparison to your annual dues can you imagine the savings?!
