About ACCO's Member Referral Program

Referral	ACCO Points¹
1-5 individual members	1 point per year subscribed
6+ individual members	2 points per year subscribed²

1 charter member (sponsor level)	10 points
1 charter member (partner level)	15 points

Each point has a value of $100 if applied to ACCO activities.

For point redemption options made available through entities outside of ACCO, each point has a value of $50.

ACCO's Member Referral Program is available to ACCO members in good standing and to prospective members. The referred new member must apply for a minimum of one (1) year of membership at full price (discounted memberships are not eligible for this promotion) and must join ACCO within 30 days of receipt of submission of the Member-Get-A-Member referral. To ensure full accreditation the referral must complete the application process and attach the referrer’s name in the appropriate section. This program is not valid with any other promotional offer or rebate. Offer is valid for up to 20 referrals per year. Other conditions and restrictions may apply.

If two or more members refer the same individual, the member whose referral is received first will be credited. Offer is correct at time of publication and is subject to change without notice. This offer is subject to ACCO Terms and Conditions of Service found at http://www.ACCOonline.org/policies and may be terminated at anytime.

Referrals Provided by Existing ACCO Members

Credits will be applied providing discounts that can be used for membership renewal dues, event fees, exhibitor fees, job bank submissions, subscriptions to publications, tuition for ACCO certificate programs and more. Members participating in this program will be provided a quarterly statement with referral and points status.

Referrals Provided by Prospective ACCO Members

Credits cannot be used to pay for initial membership dues. However, for individuals interested in joining ACCO as "Business Members" (a category that is not currently available), referral of three ACCO members will result in a formal invitation to join ACCO. Business members who have joined ACCO as a result of this program will then follow the above for existing members with respect to additional referrals.

Note: As "affiliate individual memberships" are not currently available to the general public, this program provides professional services entities an opportunity to support ACCO and earn an invitation to join the organization.

Partial Redemption

Points can be used to obtain discounts off of the full price of an ACCO activity. For example, 3 points can be redeemed to obtain a $300 credit applied to the registration fee for an ACCO workshop. If the workshop fee is $500, the redeeming member would only pay $200 to attend the event.

Each point has a redemption value of $100 and can be used for membership dues, workshop fees, exhibitor fees at ACCO events, job bank submissions, subscriptions to publications, tuition for ACCO certificate programs and more.

Points accrued for the first five (5) referrals will be one point per member for each year of the initial subscription term. Referring members will begin accruing two (2) points per member for each year of the initial subscription term from the sixth referral onward. For example, a member who refers seven (7) colleagues, each of whom subscribes for 1 year, would accrue five (5) points total for the first five (5) referrals, then would accrue two (2) points for each of the two (2) referrals. Thus, the member would accrue nine (9) total points.
