What's the difference between a Group Membership and a Corporate Sponsorship of WITA?

Good question.

A group membership means that everyone in your organization is a member of WITA. The Executive Level membership gives 5 free passes to your organization upon enrollment, and again annually with each year's re-enrollment. Executive Level membership in WITA is the standard group membership level. For groups of 1-9 persons it is just $350, and for 10+ it is just $500. This is a great investment for your organization, your employees, and in the trade community at large.

A Corporate Sponsorship represents a higher level of support for WITA. There are four levels of Corporate Sponsorship-- Diamond, Platinum, and Gold, which represent $7000, $5000, or $3000 investment, respectively.   One of the featured benefits of every level of Corporate Sponsorship is a group membership in WITA, varying degrees of exposure for your organization, and a full table at our reknowned Annual Dinner.

Sponsorship of WITA shows your organization's commitment to a neutral forum for an ongoing, informed and robust discussion of trade policy and other issues, and helps the trade community by fostering a professional networking community of trade professionals. The added exposure doesn't hurt either!
