UEDA+ Program
UEDA+ Savings & Access Program
The UEDA+ program is of UEDA and our partner organizations to provide an enhanced membership experience for UEDA members through discounted products and services. This partnership makes valuable resources available to our members working to overcome regional challenges and create positive change in economic development through institutions of higher education.
Through this partnership, we seek mutual growth by engaging in collaborative marketing efforts. This relationship allows our partners to access a wider and more diverse network of individuals and organizations, as well as an increased audience in which to market to.
We plan to support each partnership with the following:
Exhibit space at the Summit
UEDA hosts an Annual summit to laud the endeavors and projects that its members have been pursuing. Partners will be able to have exhibit space at this event to market.
Website advertising for UEDA+ partner organizations.
UEDA will designate space on our new website to advertise our partnership and the products and services that partners offer.
Two exclusive partner sponsored Webinars per year.
Partner organizations will have their logo shown on the title slide and have a 150 word-description read to listening audience.
Two exclusive partner sponsored emails per year.
Create two emails, at any time, to send to the UEDA members to tell them about current promotions that are happening within their organization or to alert members to what their organization is doing.
Contributions to the UEDA members only e-newsletter.
Partners can add content to the e-newsletter to tell them about current promotions that are happening within their organization or to alert members to what their organization is doing.
Current UEDA+ partner, Jim Woodell says, “As a UEDA+ partner, I’ve had the opportunity to grow my business through added visibility and access to UEDA members, and the opportunity to deepen my engagement in this invaluable professional community.”
