HMAA membership – recent changes
As a result of changes within the VECCI membership structure, the HMAA Board has approved the following changes to the HMAA membership structure:
- HMAA membership fees will no longer be based on Full Time Employee numbers.
- VECCI membership benefits will now be separated from those of your HMAA membership.
Why the change?
HMAA membership has never been more vital in representing grassroots Victorian tourism issues. Members largely join HMAA for expert advice, information and to support the Victorian tourism industry.
By separating HMAA and VECCI membership, HMAA members can enjoy greater freedom of choice and affordability. This makes HMAA membership even more accessible to our smaller and regional operators, as they are able to choose the membership benefits that best suit their unique needs and budget.
More importantly, this change will also allow HMAA to focus more on the sectoral benefits and core needs of our members, allowing us to increase our reach across Victoria and the strength of our sectoral representation.
How will it work?
Existing members have the option of retaining their current conditions and benefits until the 2011 membership renewal date, after which their membership will transition to the new membership structure. Members will be reminded in writing of the transition in advance of their 2011 renewal.
Existing members will also have the option of adopting the new subscription rate and member benefits prior to 2011 at their next renewal date after 26 October 2009.
What is the new membership offer?
From 26 October 2009, HMAA members will now be offered the following membership options:
Renew your HMAA and Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI) membership.
This option provides all the HMAA benefits (see above), as well as vital VECCI services that offer invaluable peace of mind in a challenging economic climate, particularly important for those members with specific IR and OHS requirements. These include:
Investment: varies based on the level of VECCI membership (Gold, Silver or Bronze). For more information, contact VECCI Member Services on 03 8662 5333 or visit the VECCI membership page.
Renew your HMAA membership only.
This option entitles you all the HMAA member benefits, but does not include any of the VECCI services. See the key HMAA membership benefits above.
Investment: flat rate of $295, including GST.
Whatever membership option suits your business, you can be assured that your support will mean HMAA and VECCI will continue to deliver the representation and services your business deserves.
