How to Start the Corporate Package Process
Corporate packages offer 5-10% membership dues discounts to qualifying groups. A corporate package is a group of individual members:

Who are from the same company (but can be from assorted geographic areas around the world)
Who have the same expiration date and renew as a group once a year
Who pay with one check or one credit card number
Have one contact person that coordinates with IABC and is the liaison between group members and IABC.
