2011 REFA-CT membership renewals are underway. Current members who renew before January 31, 2011 receive the special renewing member discount of $25 off the membership rate of $250. REFA members receive significant discounts on all program fees, access to Members Only programs and Networking Socials. Members will also be invited to the REFA-CT Gala and the Annual Charity Golf Tournament. All members can renew their dues online by visiting the web site at www.REFACT.org.
Even with the current economic crisis, 2010 was an outstanding year for our organization. Over 80 member firms supported REFA as sponsors at various levels. This commitment continues to make it possible for the independent operation of REFA-CT and for both chapters to organize and hold numerous, well-attended meetings covering a wide spectrum of important and timely real estate and business topics. All sponsors are recognized throughout the year with their company name on our banners that are displayed during every program. Sponsors are also recognized on our web site, in our written communications to members and in informational program packets. Depending on the sponsorship level, all sponsors receive either one or two free memberships and five or ten free passes to programs and a complimentary invitation to the Annual Sponsors Dinner. All annual REFA-CT Sponsors will also automatically be recognized as a REFA-CT Gala Sponsor.
Applications for both membership and sponsorship can be found on our web site at www.refact.org. Questions can be directed to our executive office at 860-243-3977.
