BENEFITS OF BMI MEMBERSHIP
Here’s
what our current members have to say… NETWORKING &
RELATIONSHIPS
·
“Networking
with industry peers.” ·
“Relationships – they have grown since
I started coming about 6 years ago.” ·
“The open
sharing of ideas with comrades and competitors, all done on the up and up.” ·
“The chance to
network with / talk to / learn from other members of the book manufacturing
industry – both the BMI conferences and Roundtables offer this opportunity.” ·
“The
friendships I’ve made.” ·
“The networking
and being kept informed on what is happening in our industry.” ·
“Camaraderie
and relationships built over the years make for not only enjoyment but also
for a very special infrastructure of talent to address virtually any industry
happening. The industries most
comprehensive sounding board for the issues facing our industry.” ·
“To add value
to your business or profession through associations within BMI.” ·
“Eating,
sleeping and living book manufacturing in our own worlds, it is refreshing to
be around people who do the same.
We all juggle similar personal and professional issues but might
attack them differently in different parts of the country. Bringing together the industry’s
national / international resources has value beyond the day to day business
issues.” CONFERENCES
·
“Timely
industry and business updates via topics discussed and spoken about at conferences.” ·
“The speakers
of the past few years have been of a higher grade and have been helpful
regarding the economy and how to be more competitive.” ·
“It is
instructive to see how other CEOs manage their businesses and deal with
challenges that are common to all of us.” ·
“To interact
with professionals in the book industry discussing policy, processes and
other items related to book manufacturing.” ·
“It is the most
productive meeting we attend all year.
Meeting with industry contemporaries, suppliers, potential partners
(ally’s) in an uninterrupted period of three or four days is very valuable.” ·
“Industry
knowledge – a quick snapshot of what is going on from competitors and
suppliers.” ROUNDTABLES
·
“Roundtables –
HR, IT and Ratio Analysis – provide excellent benchmarks and information from
within our industry.” CONNECTIONS
·
“Connections to
AAP and others.” ·
“Access and
introductions to members of the publishing community at the highest level
because of our choice of speakers and Pat Schroeder at the AAP.” ·
“To understand
the political forces in Washington that affect policies relating to the
publishing and manufacture of books.” ·
“The
opportunity to gain better knowledge of what resources are available from the
supplier community.” AND THE BOTTOM LINE… ·
“To be active
in a world class organization whose mission is committed to progress related
to the manufacture of books.” |
