Today more
than 120 manufacturers like your firm belong to the Worldwide
DIY Council in order to expand their international business.
Membership in the Council is limited to manufacturers from the
United States and Canada.
As it has
become imperative for American and Canadian companies to expand
their sales globally, the Council's range of services likewise
has expanded.
Truly,
the most important benefit of Council membership is the opportunity
to network with other experienced export-minded executives like
yourself.
Annual
membership costs only $295 a year, and enables you to immediately
benefit by gaining access to more than 100 comprehensive country reports,
legal advice and other valuable resource information delivered
by experts at previous annual meetings. This is, in effect,
our "new-member" e-mail package for you.
You'll
find this alone is worth thousands of dollars-a great (and immediate)
payback on your very minor dues investment.
