Industry Partner Membership (formerly Friends of IREM)
The objective of the policy is to further enhance the relationships with professional "Industry Partners" through acceptance and conformance with those parameters as set forth by this Chapter. The following page lists the current Industry Partner Members and the Southern New Jersey Chapter encourages you to support our Industry Partner Members. For more information contact the chapter office at # 856-829-8939 or [email protected]
1. The categories should consist of a mix of vendors and not limited to any particular type, providing they
are related to the property management industry.
2. Friends may become eligible after a written introduction is provided to the committee or chapter
administrator. After such interest is expressed an application must be completed. A CPM, ARM or ACoM must complete
the top portion of the application before forwarding it to the applicant. The completed application should
be forwarded to the committee or chapter administrator with the appropriate fee. The annual fee is tiered:
$600 for companies with 30 or more employees OR $500 for companies with 29 or less employees; payments will be refunded should the application be rejected. PLEASE NOTE: companies that pay by credit card will be assessed an additional 3,5% fee.
3. There should be a standing committee to encourage participation in and regulation of the Industry Partner Membership program. This committee will consist of the chapter president, two directors which may be candidates, and a chairperson. This chairperson shall be appointed by the chapter president. The purpose of this committee will be to review applicants credentials, and character, prior to approval and then to issue approval.
4. Any issue concerning an Industry Partner should be presented to the Industry Partner Membership Committee, who
will review the situation with the person involved to determine an appropriate course of action. Final decision, should expulsion be recommended, lies with the Board.
5. Total number of Industry Partner Members should not exceed 35% of the chapter membership.
6. There is no limit to the number of meetings Industry Partner Members may attend, however it should be understood that
our functions are meant for the purpose of building relationships and conducting chapter business. Voting on motions presented at the meeting is strictly prohibited unless one holds the CPM designation and is a member in good standing.
7. Industry Partner Members are responsible for paying their annual membership dues; please note that the cost of sponsoring and attending events is in addition to these dues.
