Corporate Member (“Member”) Policies and Guidelines

Corporate Memberships run for one year from the effective date

of the membership application after approval  by BREIA.

1.)           General Meeting Exhibit Tables (when available)

a.       Any representative at the Corporate Member exhibit must be an employee or a full-time representative or the company.  Membership dues provide for the primary employee and one or two employees for no additional door fee, depending on the Corporate Membership type chosen.  Additional attendees will be charged a door fee of $10.  This amount is subject to change by BREIA.

b.      The Member cannot resell his table to anyone else without the explicit permission of BREIA and with at least 48 hour notice.

c.       The presentation, materials and the attire of the Member shall be professional and in good taste as determined by BREIA.

d.      Advertisements on the Member (T-shirts, signage, hats, jackets, etc.) shall be subtle and in good taste as determined by BREIA.  Garish, obtrusive or unprofessional advertising (T-shirts, signage, hats, jackets, etc.) or attire will not be permitted by BREIA and the Member will have to remove the offensive signage or leave the premises without any refund of his table fee.  It is BREIA’s sole discretion to determine the standards of appropriate or offensive signage.

e.      Exhibitors are expected to set up their table prior to the opening of the doors to the public.  The doors should open to the Members at 5:00pm and set up should be completed by 5:30pm.   These times are subject to change but obviously the earlier the better to get more interaction with the attendees, however, BREIA realizes that because of unforeseen problems with traffic or Members’ office hours, Members may not be on time, every time, but it is important that late arriving members set up their table or display area as unobtrusively as possible.

f.        Members may distribute flyers or brochures at his/her table and display one flyer , brochure (multiple copies) or a stack of business cards at the BREIA designated Corporate Members’ Table (specific advertising location).  BREIA does monitor this table and will remove and discard any literature or business cards placed there by non-members, so Members should verify they are placing their material on the table with a representative from BREIA and that their membership is current.

g.       Flyers/brochures may not be distributed to the general membership as handouts or on seats unless preapproved by BREIA.   Under no circumstances, may Members position their personnel at the entrances or exits to the meeting rooms or the facility where the event is being held.

h.      Members may solicit customers for fax/email addresses at their exhibit tables only.

2.)            BREIA’s Website

Depending on the level of corporate membership, corporate members will be listed as preferred vendors in the Corporate Member area.  It is the obligation of the Member to keep his Member information current at all times. 

3.)            Specific Policy

BREIA has the right and authority to cancel or suspend a Member, if in BREIA’s sole discretion, the Member has acted unethically or inappropriately with his clients, club members, or the public in general.  No refund for any unused membership will be refunded for any reason if this cancellation decision is made by BREIA.  Member can appeal this cancellation by written request to BREIA at 7801 SW 6th Court, Plantation, FL  33324.

4.)            Changes of Policy

BREIA reserves the right to change any polices in effect and add other policies at their discretion, at any time.
