EWVIDCO Members! We need your logo!
We’re working on new materials and want to make sure that all EWVIDCO members in good standing are recognized with a member listing, as well as their company logo. Please email them to Leah Archibald or Caitlin Dourmashkin at larchibald@ewvidco.com or cdourmashkin@ewvidco.com.
Not yet a paid EWVIDCO member? Now’s the time to join! Each $400 membership contribution provides valuable support to the work that we do to serve the North Brooklyn’s industrial business community. Your contribution is even more important than ever--in this time of rapidly declining public funding for our mission, we need to rely upon the support of our industrial businesses to a much greater degree.
As you may already know, EWVIDCO suffered a very large funding cut on our main NYC contract, so membership support has become more important than ever! If you believe in the work we do, and want us to be around to serve the business community now and in the future, we ask that you support us through membership. You can pay directly, or print out a membership application from our website here: http://www.ewvidco.com/membership.htm
Contact Leah Archibald at 718-388-7287 x168 or larchibald@ewvidco.com if you have any questions.
