 Board Members,

  The Membership committee would like to open up an official discussion to the approve an associate membership priced at $125. This membership would include 3 full memberships and a link to their website on an "associate page".

We would like to pass this membership sp that we can include a blurb on it in the vendor prospectous for the 2012 Conference.

Thank you,

Wendy Thingelstad

Great idea.  Might think through if this changes anything in regard to fees charged for vendor spaces for associate member.  May also be worth nothing that additional memberships (beyond 3) could be added at the usual member price (?).  Do we offer discounts on bulk purchase of memberships for an associate?
