IEDA Announces New Sponsor Level for OEMs, Auction Companies and Industry Associations
Victor, New York (July 26, 2016) – The Independent Equipment Dealers Association (IEDA) announced today that it has created a new “Sponsor Level” of affiliation with the IEDA association, designed specifically for OEM Dealers, auction companies and industry specific organizations. The purpose of this new sponsor level is to acknowledge support for the organization from those companies and businesses who are not recognized as “independent dealers” according to the organizational by-laws and therefore do not qualify for IEDA membership.
“The Board of Directors of the IEDA has spent a great deal of time and consideration evaluating the benefits of recognizing support from various industry market segments. This was a decision years in the making, and I feel confident that both current and future members of this exclusive group will benefit from this strategic positioning of the IEDA in the marketplace” says IEDA President Drew VanBrunt.
As the IEDA is recognized as a non-profit trade association, one of the main objectives of the new sponsor level is to gain financial support from large industry organizations recognizing the value of affiliation with the IEDA network. Businesses that take advantage of this sponsor option will be offered a variety of benefits that include but are not limited to: Use of the new “IEDA Sponsor” logo, vendor expo attendance, exclusive group networking opportunities, marketing and sponsorship opportunities, social media exposure…and more.
More information about becoming a sponsor of the IEDA can be found online at www.iedagroup.com/sponsorlevel. Questions regarding sponsorship may be forwarded to Executive Director Kristen Williams at [email protected].
