Vendor Partners

UTC knows the business you are in...and the pressures you face in making contact with influential utility telecom personnel. How do you find the right people, who can act on your recommendations?

It is access to our Core members, and the key decision-makers within those organizations, that is of most value to our vendor partners that become UTC Associate Members.

When you network and explore new business with UTC Core members, you will find that our member contacts are the cream of the crop. They are the best in the industry, and they are also in a good position to recommend (or even authorize) new business with vendor partners.

Our Associate member partners know that UTC membership is a good long-term relationship builder. Your support for the industry and knowledge gained from working with volunteer committees and focus groups often leads to increased sales over many years. And the timely information provided to members through regular communications, live meetings and "virtual" events is also a valuable educational tool for your sales people.

Read on, and you'll see that the value Associate Members receive for their membership dollar is HUGE. And it gets better all the time!

UTC Associate Members benefit in so many ways. Major benefits include:

• An automatic subscription to the UTC Journal - the Council’s premier magazine for the telecommunications/information technology industry. Associate members may choose this and other benefits for as many employees as they choose, whether at Headquarters or in the field, all for one low fee.
• Member discounts when registering to attend and/or exhibit at UTC conferences, meetings and seminars, including our annual conference UTC TELECOM 2009.
• Preferred speaker opportunities at UTC regional and national meetings. The value of this benefit can often translate into thousands of dollars in increased sales.
• Your company’s complete contact information, including a sales contact, company description, and a link to your company’s Web site will be added to the UTC Online Buyers Guide. Your listing will also be included in the annual printed Buyer's Guide (deadlines apply).
• Complimentary use of our Core Member Mailing List. This service is available to all UTC Associate members once per year (normally $795.00 for non-members).
• Access to the Council’s online Membership Directory through our Members-Only Web page.
• Opportunities to get involved with UTC Divisions, Sections and Committees. Get involved, learn about the utility telecom/IT issues from the inside, and help make a difference for the industry and to your bottom line.
• Discounts on a variety of new and archived research studies. Some of them are even free of charge.
• Complimentary subscriptions to UTC Industry Intelligence and UTC Alert e-newsletters, and MUCH MORE!
