REFA continues to have tremendous participation from member firms who find value in sponsoring the organization. Over 100 firms support 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 video display during every program. Sponsors are also recognized on our website, 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 website at www.refact.org.
