I joined the NPRA as an affiliate! I didn't even know there was such an option!! I'm beyond excited! I feel like I keep unlocking gold mines-and I'm here to share the wealth. The cost is $349.99 for the year (monthly is @29.99)
From the website:
An Affiliate Member is a company partner that works in the senior placement industry supporting senior placement agents and communities. Placement Agents rely on the services of other industry professionals in order to provide excellence in service to their clients. Recognizing the important role of these businesses, NPRA created the Affiliate Membership.
This membership category allows networking and relationship building opportunities for those servicing the Placement Industry. Affiliate members can attend NPRA local and national chapter meetings, are “searchable” through the NPRA website, and can serve on both local and national boards of directors. Affiliate Members do not engage in the business of placement and referral compensation, and must follow the NPRA Best Practices and Code of Ethics. Affiliate members are are listed on the website's public "Companies Supporting Seniors" Directory. Some states don't have this up and running yet but 20 of them do with 20 more in the works. If your state has placement agents I would suggest signing up.
I wonder if we get some kind of logo though-you guys know, like the ones you get that say "Proud member of such-n-such Chamber of Commerce" but it says NPRA instead? If I get it, I will let you know.
