It seems the economy is top of mind for most people today.  At every level, personal, corporate and government, budgets are being scrutinized and belts are being tightened.  As you evaluate ways to grow revenue and cut expenditures, I encourage you to take a look at how AeA can assist you in meeting corporate objectives.

For starters, many member companies are saving more money on shipping through the AeA Shipping & Freight Savings Program than their membership investment.  Savings on FedEx, Yellow Transportation and UPS Freight have totaled thousands of dollars.  This program is open to all AeA members and requires no contract or minimum usage. It is savings pure and simple.

Many companies have recognized the benefits and savings of AeAHealth! Insurance and Wellness Services.  As you evaluate your company’s benefits plan, please make sure you get a quote for this program. The savings could be substantial.

Often overlooked are the business development opportunities that AeA membership affords. If you haven’t reviewed your online member profile recently, do so today.  The AeA Member Directory is one of the most visited destinations on our website. Your listing is an advertisement for your company. Please take a moment to ensure it projects the image you want.

Also, if you haven’t considered offering a discount for AeA Member to Member Discount Program, please do so today.  This program allows you to reach out to fellow AeA members and increase your visibility and opportunity to do business with other AeA members.

These are just a few of the ways your AeA membership can work for you.  If you would like to explore opportunities to maximize your AeA membership investment, give me a call.  I would love to talk with you about all the ways we can work for you.

Last, we’d like to extend a warm welcome the newest member of the Potomac Council – OPNET Technologies.  OPNET is a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications.  OPNET's best-in-class solutions address:  application performance management; network operations; capacity management; and network R&D.  We are delighted they have chosen AeA as their trade association.
