NAIA - Member Benefits



	home resources member benefits
	MEMBER BENEFITS & DISCOUNTS MEMBER BENEFITS include the NAIA Newsletter, an organizational website including member roster with individual contact information and thumbnail image of work, searchable member database, random thumbnail images of members' work on four main sections of the site, a "Java thumbnail gallery" and a "barebones thumbnail gallery", Director Conferences, Artist Conferences, NAIA Member Gallery with optional webpage (available for additional cost - go here) and a show contact information page. And, of course, The Member Forum (password required) is a place where many things are discussed in the total realm of our chosen careers. From new technology in charge card processing to where we “fit” in the total art world; no subject is too big nor too small. From serious concerns to interesting information to lighthearted entertainment, the Member Forum is a place to keep up with the inside story on our venue and our organization. As a member, we welcome you to share your thoughts on the Member Forum. The Show Information Forum (password required) is a member benefit of great value if you want to give and get information on shows. More than a “ratings” guide, the information here contains the “Important Stuff” about shows posted by real identifiable members - the quality of the show, security, problems, warnings, good spaces, access, parking, attendance, demographics, etc. - the information necessary to determine if a show might be right for your work. We ask before you register that you commit to both the giving and the taking of information to this password protected site; it just won’t work if the commitment doesn’t go both ways. If you have trouble with your passwords, registering or logging in, please contact the for help. In the future, portions of the NAIA website currently public will be available only to NAIA Members. MEMBER DISCOUNTS The NAIA has arranged discounts for its members with the businesses listed below. The businesses must offer a discount of at least 10% and are allowed to restrict the discount to certain services or products. Businesses may wish to verify that you are a member in good standing in the NAIA before filling your order, so please be sure that your NAIA membership is up to date. If you encounter any problems with any of the businesses who offer discounts, please let us know.

BUDGET RENTAL Budget Rental will now provide a corporate discount to our members on their trucks and cars. Here are PDF files with information, phone numbers, and code numbers. Here is the corporate agreement. The NAIA is pleased to announce we have qualified for a special non profit association discount with Choice Hotels International. This program is called Significant Organization Savings Rates or "S.O.S. Rates". The discount is 15% off published rack rates at Participating Choice Brand Hotels (this discount should work out to be about 10% better then any other discount available). All you need to do to participate is to book your rooms through the dedicated 800 number and use the NAIA's special membership ID Code. Feel free to share this discount with your staff and board members. Choice Hotels has 5,000 locations across the globe. Our ID code can be used for your personal travel as well! Choice Hotels include: Clarion, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Mainstay Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Econo Lodge, Roadway Inn and Flag. Please Note: due to the fact that these are franchises we may from time to time run into a hotel that will not honor this program especially during a special event. Save yourself a hassle and always use the 800 number to make your reservation. To receive a book listing all locations go to the Choice web site and check the "contact us" box. Be sure to familiarize yourself with special "hot deals" that may fit your travel plans. If you are a member and have not received the ID Code and 800 number, us. A note from a member: Made another rez using my NAIA Choice Hotels discount. I compared the rates to the other rates they had, including AAA, corporate, and internet user. NAIA deal was better than all of those. I checked hotwire, but the offers were not that good, especially after you add their "fees and taxes" (which I always check to get the true cost). Didn't make any priceline offers, it just didn't seem like the locations were going to be reliable for being close to the show. Also, thought I would mention that the Choice hotels website is really good, very informative, easy to navigate, it worked well, etc. Thanks, NAIA. Don Ament CONVOY CONTAINERS 10% discount.
