Industry Partner Chapter Involvement: NARI Milwaukee doesn’t see Industry Partner involvement establishing off a preset menu of opportunities. We believe it's about NARI Milwaukee and the Partner building a relationship and custom partnership. The conversation starts with what are the Partners marketing objectives. Obviously, our values and industries align and NARI Milwaukee has an audience for the Partners brand and product. Now it’s a matter of who does the Partner want to target (consumer/member) and what do they want to target (i.e., brand awareness, drive sales, find new customers, etc.). Does the Partner have sponsorship criteria; what are the most meaningful benefits in a partnership; what type of partnership is the Partner looking for - an event, program or yearlong presents and
