Got a business? Send us your card today!
The 2011 SPJST Member Services Directory is all about members helping members! If you are an SPJST member and you have a business — large or small, get it listed in the 2011 SPJST Member Services Directory. The directory, which will be published in late spring/early summer, p r o vides a comprehensive listing of SPJST s a l e s agents and free listings to members who can provide goods and services to o t h e r SPJST members. The idea is based on the fraternal concept of members helping members. In addition to these free listings, members will have the opportunity to place a free display advertisement/ coupon in the directory. Free display advertisements/coupons will be provided to businesses that offer SPJST members discount products and/or services. And, something new this year—if you, the owner, employ SPJST members, take a photo, send us the names, and we will publish it in the directory.
Photo must feature SPJST members and some aspect of the business. To be listed in the 2011 directory, you must be an S P J S T m e m b e r. Send your business card, SPJST lodge number, and SPJST member discount information (optional) to:
