GPCA GUARDIANS Leadership -- Education -- Promotion of the Industry Most major associations have a founder’s society, platinum level, “guardian” group – whatever the name – of companies who have a vision about the future of their trade association.  Guardians understand that if you stand still, you are falling behind.  “Making budget” each year isn’t enough.  It takes seed money to raise the level of professionalism and plan for the future. Money collected in the Guardian account is protected in a separate checking account.  No more than 10% of money collected may be used in recognizing the Guardians (receptions, banners etc.) leaving 90% of money collected to be utilized for the purpose intended.  The projects will be announced at the winter conference – based on the amount of money collected this fall. Cost for Guardian participation is $1000 annually.  It may be paid in lump sum, or billed in $250 increments quarterly. To learn more about the Guardians, be sure to attend the GPCA winter conference, January 9 – 11, 2007.  The projects for the coming year will be announced and recognition will be provided all those who have pledged their support.
