Benefits of Joining

In addition to the ICCA National Association Benefits, there are many benefits that you can only obtain by being an ICCA Chicago Chapter member.

Networking

A key benefit to joining the Chicago Chapter is having significant networking opportunities at our chapter meetings. For some of us networking is not an easy task and for others, it is what we do on a daily basis. It is the process of networking that develops relationships and facilitates business in the future. The chapter meetings are designed to facilitate the networking process. Both informal and formal networking is done at each meeting and you get a chance to develop face-to-face relationships. Develop relationships where you can feel comfortable asking questions of others or maybe sharing a contract, or work. Learn from our informative and educational programs and speakers. Network amongst peers.

Dinner Meeting Discount

Chapter members attend all chapter functions at reduced rates. Member dinner meeting cost is $35, the non-member cost is $45. When you attend an entire program year this $10 discount per meeting translates to a savings of $90.

Complimentary Dinner Meeting

When you join or renew your chapter membership, you will receive a voucher for a free meeting attendance useable at any meeting during the current meeting season (September - June) . Value: $35.
