Maybe you’ve been waiting for spring, but we’ve noticed that not everyone has renewed their ASMP membership. Please don’t wait any longer to make your membership commitment because our annual plans depend on your renewal! You also don’t want to compromise access to benefit discounts which will be terminated on March 31st.
Here are some of the things we have in store in 2018 – IF we get your commitment:
- New member benefits, including customized health benefits that will save you money on comprehensive coverage
- ASMP online forums for collaboration and sharing of ideas – launched in Q4 of 2017 and waiting for your contributions
- New chapter websites that make it easier to feature local members and events (See Philadelphia Chapter as an example)
- New digital marketing tools for chapters so local communication becomes more efficient and consistent (coming soon!)
- Continue efforts on U.S. Capitol Hill to educate Congress and support the passage of legislation that protects small creators
- Activate members so they can play their role in the legislative process and have their voices heard – currently, we are encouraging action around HR 3945 Copyright
- Fresh, new educational opportunities online so all members, regardless of their geography, can benefit
- An extensive marketing campaign promoting Find a Photographer to art buyers and the industry at large (Check out your issue of Communication Arts Interactive Annual 24)
- Reinstate the ASMP Infinity Magazine (coming to your mailbox once you renew!)
- Four photo contests to raise your profile including ASMP Taste (food), ASMP Spaces (architecture), ASMP Faces (portraits), and Best of ASMP 2018
- A new podcast series and live broadcast called ASMP Experts and Masters bringing candid conversations between legendary photographers, creatives and thought leaders
It’s critical for you to take immediate action so we know we have the funding to make all this possible.
