THANKS to our SPONSORS
Corporate Memberships are critical to the success of the NTGPA. Last year was the highest level of Corporate Membership for the NTGPA in many years. Please encourage your company to become active in the NTGPA with a corporate membership as well as encouraging participation in the NTGPA of individual employees.
Three levels of Corporate Memberships are available: Platinum - $750, Gold -$500, Silver - $250. All levels of membership have the same benefits, i.e. 1) recognition at North Texas GPA functions, 2) all company employees that are listed along with the check are automatically included on the membership rolls, (thus eliminating the need for each individual member to pay dues) and will receive announcements, etc. 3) Most of the funds collected go to our scholarship fund which we award each year. The difference is the pride of being a "Platinum" member vs. a "Silver", which has different values to each individual company.
