Associate Membership
About Associate Membership:
Associate Membership in the Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST) is a great opportunity for firms and organizations that are interested in doing business with Connecticut's small towns and cities. Together, these towns represent a large public sector market, purchasing millions of dollars each year in products and services.
Benefits of Membership:
Associate Membership in COST provides member firms with many direct benefits, including opportunities to network with municipal leaders and officials to increase your firm's visibility:
- Networking opportunities with municipal decision-makers, including first selectmen/women, mayors and town managers.
- Visibility on COST’s high-traffic website, including a link to your website.
- Special acknowledgment and listing as an Associate Member in COST’s "Connecticut Town Leaders’ and Municipal Services Directory".
- Preferred space and discounted rates for exhibiting at COST’s Town Meeting and other conferences and workshops - events that attract hundreds of high-ranking state and local officials.
- Opportunities to showcase your firm's expertise by presenting at webinars, workshops, and conferences.
- Special discounts on registration fees to attend COST's Town Meeting and other conferences and workshops.
- Timely updates on pending laws and regulations, municipal programs and resources, and other important issues.
In addition, because we value the support our Associate Members bring to our organization, COST encourages its member towns to "shop" first with Associate Members when they are in need of municipal products and services.
Associate Membership is $795 per year - a bargain given the benefits your firm will receive!
