Your proposal must meet these basic criteria to be considered:

• Brief overview of your product/service

• NAGC branding of products and services
• Incentive for member to purchase through the NAGC partnership

NAGC will not pay any fee for participation in affinity relationships and requires an initial marketing launch allowance paid to the association of $25,000.

Committee requirements for review:

Must be a member in good standing with the association

Must not compete substantively with current offerings
Meeting requirements for review does not guarantee approval of partnership offering.
