Greater Charlotte Apartment Association

Joining the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association is a wise decision. The benefits of your GCAA membership can be maximized if you understand all that the association has to offer. The following are exclusive benefits of Associate membership:

• Prospecting and networking opportunities at GCAA’s General Membership Meetings and other major events: your chance to meet and mingle with over 150 industry professionals each month.
  
• Annual Membership Directory and Buyers’ Guide: the GCAA’s yearly publication which lists all owners, management companies, properties, and associate members. All associates are also listed in this directory’s separate Buyers’ Guide section by the particular service that they provide. The printed Membership Directory is distributed annually to each GCAA member as well as to every member property. Current GCAA members can also access the entire directory on this website. (The online version of the directory is updated continually.)
  
• Supplemental Buyers’ Guide Inserts: which are included in every issue of the GCAA’s Apartment Times magazine. This insert offers an up-to-date listing of Associate member firms by product/service type. Any visitor to www.greatercaa.org can access an on-line version of this Buyers’ Guide.
  
• Mailing lists: in either label format or electronically. Send direct mail pieces to the entire GCAA membership base, to owners only, to properties, etc. The list can be tailored to suit your particular needs.
  
• Trade Show Exhibitor Opportunities: Display your product/service at this significant GCAA annual event; it’s a cost-effective means of contacting over 1000 apartment professionals in a single evening. Traditionally held in the Spring, this event is always one of the highlights of the GCAA calendar year. The 2010 Trade Show is scheduled for Thursday, March 25th.
  
• Exposure on the GCAA web site, www.greatercaa.org: The GCAA’s phenomenal website includes an on-line Member Directory and Buyers’ Guide with direct links to listed members’ sites, prominent placement of GCAA’s Platinum Sponsor listing with links to these Associate members’ own websites, and industry links to the NAA, the NMHC, the AANC, NC Fair Housing Institute, ULI, NC Building Code, and more.
