MMLA CHAPTER PARTNER PROGRAM

 

This exciting program allows MMLA members to purchase advertising, event registrations, and event sponsorships at a significantly discounted rate for all LOCAL CHAPTER events. The current Corporate Partnership Program does not allow for this type of exposure at the chapter level, so this is an enhancement to our Corporate Partnership program! This is a great opportunity to make an annual commitment to the MMLA local chapters with one payment and receive recognition all year long! 

Check out this video by Ryan Evans that explains this program.
