The New Year is coming…
So Are Passport materials
> www.ihrsa.org/passport
The IHRSA Passport Program, a free benefit of IHRSA membership, provides
members of participating clubs with discounted guest privileges at more than
3,400 clubs worldwide when they travel. The program is a value-added
enhancement to your club’s membership sales efforts, as well as a valuable
member-retention tool. As always, clubs that participate in the program
should be on the lookout this month for their annual program materials for
the upcoming year. However, unlike years past, the 2010 materials are being
sent to e-mail inboxes, rather than through the postal mail—so be sure to
check your inbox for this essential information! —|
