NCMS Member Referral Program

Between now and August 17, 2018, current NCMS member organizations can refer new members to join the NCMS network. They will receive a discount of 10% off the total amount of next year’s membership dues (up to $10,000) for each new member they refer that joins by August 17, 2018 for the 2019 membership year. As part of the referral program, new members will receive immediate, complimentary access to member benefits for the remainder of 2018, as part of their 2019 membership year.

NCMS is built on the value of collaboration and on the diverse range of expertise and capabilities its network of innovative, industry-leading members and partners possess. We understand that every day, our members work with quality suppliers, service firms, and solutions providers that would make strong additions to that network. This year, we’re reaching out to learn about the peers and partners your organization relies on because the organizations you count on are ones we would be excited to work with as well.

Upon submitting the referral form, an automated email will be sent to your specified contact at the organization you are inviting to join NCMS.  NCMS will track your referrals and ensure you are awarded a discount if they complete the enrollment process.

How It Works

Referrals can be made before August 17, after which new member organizations’ applications will be reviewed. Current members will be notified of the discounts they have received on October 3.

For every new organization they refer that joins at the Collaborative level or above, current Collaborative and Strategic-level members will receive a 10% discount on their total 2019 membership dues, up to a cumulative total of $10,000. At renewal, Community-level members can choose to upgrade and enjoy the benefits of a Collaborative-level membership and receive discounts for the organizations they refer. For more information about NCMS membership levels, see https://www.ncms.org/membership/ and https://www.ncms.org/membership/benefits/.

Referred companies join immediately upon completion of the membership process, with no dues for the remainder of 2018. They can take advantage of NCMS Cooperative and Other Transaction Agreements, and all other Collaborative or Strategic-level membership benefits.
