Benefits of Partnership

The Industry Partner program began in 2011 with companies that want the opportunity to reach staffing companies and share their expertise in the staffing industry.  Each company has a product or service that is targeted to staffing firms, such as unemployment insurance, accounting or legal advice.  A full-fledged Industry Partner program will ideally include companies that offer office suppliers, promotional products, back office software, online job search engines, employee benefits, banking, finance, employee screening, merger and acquisitions planning, full service marketing and payroll services.

The Industry Partners each commit to a minimum of $750 per year in dues to the MASA to support operational expenses. Industry Partners can contribute at different levels up though the Diamond Industry Partner Level at $2,500.   Each level allows additional benefits and perks, as well as the ability to customize an Industry Partner package that meets that company’s needs.  For all levels, IP’s receive several benefits including: hosting focused monthly events, ability to advertise in the MASA website and newsletter, recognition as an IP on the MASA website and directory, ability to display company literature and marketing at MASA events and in New Member Welcome kits and Member Interest kits, access to the MASA Staffing Firm Database  complete with contact names and email addresses, ability to sponsor the MASA Annual Kick-off event in February, admission to the Annual Membership Meeting and Holiday Party, as well as other opportunities to reach MASA members.

Industry Partners can display their company literature, marketing materials, banners, etc. at any MAAPC event that they sponsor.  This can include Industry Partner events where their company is speaking, MAAPC speaker events that they have solely sponsored for $500, Kick-off sponsorship, Annual Membership Meeting sponsorship, Holiday Party sponsorship, etc.  These sponsorships are quite limited and are granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Because of the limited amount of sponsorships available, priority is given to Diamond IP’s first, then down through each level to Associate Partners.  Industry Partners also receive the ability to include literature or promotional products in New Member Welcome Kits.  Each new member to join MAAPC receives these kits upon signing up for membership.  It is an excellent way for IP’s to reach out to all new members and introduce their services and products.

• Free attendance at IP programs
