NEW! Business Partners Video Opportunity in 2020
Take advantage of this offer to provide 1 or more educational videos during 2020. This is a new, creative way to share educational tips with our GKC MGMA members in short video clips (3-10 minutes length).
Business Partners who participate in this educational opportunity will be listed as an “Education Sponsor” for the tenure of their commitment. All partners are eligible to participate.
We hope this idea will be beneficial to both partners and managers: visibility for our partners, and an innovative way to share info with our members on the run: via iPhone, laptop, etc. Skies the limit. Let’s try it!
All partners interested in providing videos agree to abide by the terms of the agreement for 2020, see link below to review. If interested in the offering, please read the policy and choose from the options.
