Member Benefits

Member Benefits

Our Alliance is a nonprofit networking and support organization, of, by, and for military reunion groups and those who support them. The benefits of membership arise from an ability to access the knowledge, experience, and goodwill of people with similar goals and interests. Collectively, our members have direct experience in conducting over 3,000 military reunions. By joining the Alliance, they commit to sharing their knowledge with other members.

We are still in our "startup phase," and we're working hard on developing the specific services we intend to offer. We intend to develop this web site into a major resource for members, with "members only" sections devoted to that purpose. And while we don't intend to duplicate the services offered by CVBs, DMOs, the Reunion Friendly Network and others, we do expect to facilitate the working relationships between our members and those important groups.

Here are some of the benefits we offer right now:

You will receive copies of our members-only publications like the Military Reunion Handbook and our list of over 35 Reunion Notice Publishers. You can download a sample of the latter publication Here . These publications include useful things like hotel checklists, sample RFPs, and sample hotel contracts.

Your group will be listed on our web site, with links to its own web site and your unit's article in Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. If this leads to somebody asking us about your group, we'll let you know so you can contact them. If your group doesn't have a web site of its own, (or even if it does), your listing on our site will make it easier for prospective members to make contact with you.

If your group doesn't have a web site, we'll create one for you at minimum cost. Click Here to see the details.

You can list your reunion notice on our heavily-viewed web site.

You'll be on our email list (and you can unsubscribe if you want).

You'll get our quarterly newsletter.

You'll be invited to our "members only" Seminars and Town Hall Meetings. (Others may be invited to a few of them, but you'll have priority for registration, and they'll have to join before they can come.) These are held at sites around the country, and feature guided discussion of topics of interest to military reunion groups. They typically include free or low-cost meals and lodging, with an opportunity to explore an attractive and friendly reunion venue. You can see more about our seminars Here.

You'll be eligible for assistance from our "panel of experts."

You'll tap into the buying power of a large and powerful organization.

You'll be plugged in to our community of Special Members—the hotels, CVBs and vendors who also belong to the Alliance. They are eager to work with you on having better, less costly reunions.

Here are some of the benefits we plan to offer very soon:

You'll have access to the detailed profiles of other member groups, so you can work with them on planning, organizing, and managing your own operation.

You'll be able to access the "members only" sections of this web site and its online discussion forum
