(Because West YP members have event registration fees waived!) 

Good news: They’ll be thrilled to hear about your interest! Getting involved shows you have initiative, want to develop as a professional, are interested in expanding your circle of influence, and value making a greater impact on the community. Talk about employee goals! 

We created a resource you can use as a template to seek your employer’s support in paying for the membership. See email template here. 

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

• Customize this to your voice before you send it.
• Confirm if your business is a WDM Chamber member (see here) to make sure you include the accurate West YP membership amount.
• Remember that pricing is prorated each quarter, so adjust the pricing in the template accordingly.
• If you’re asking on behalf of a group of YPs, you might qualify for the “business package” discounted group pricing. All of this information is above!
