2025 Budget

Budget 2025

Please include these figures while planning 2025 budgets.

ENGINEER & PROPERTY MANAGER MEMBERS:
To the best of our knowledge the following are the figures you should budget for next year:
•    Engineer/Property Manager Dues $250 per year
•    Luncheons $47.50 per event (9 per year)
•    Training $37.50 per event (10 per year)
•    Chili Slam $100 - $900 (team registration fees)
•    Vendor EXPO $20 per person
Average cost per engineer if they were to attend every single event = $1,250 for professional training & networking! 

As a reminder, if your budget does not allow for dues to be included, we have the incentive program where you can get free dues & event registrations by participating in our committees, volunteer opportunities & training/luncheons.  Visit our website for more details.

Please note these figures are subject to change depending on circumstances that may be out of our control such as increased expenses.
 

VENDOR MEMBERS:
To the best of our knowledge the following are the figures you should budget for next year:
•    Vendor Dues $330 per year (can be included with annual sponsorship)
•    Additional Vendor Dues $185
•    Luncheons $57.50 per event (9 per year)
•    Sponsorship:  We will be offering our annual sponsorship package for next year and the amounts will range from $3,500 - $9,000 (we will start sales for 2025 in October 2024).  Annual sponsorship include dues for at least one person in your company.
•    We will also offer single sponsorship (items not sold during annual program) for those vendors who do not wish to participate in the annual sponsorship package, as shown below:
o    Monthly Luncheon ($2,000)
o    Joint Luncheon ($1,000-4,000)
o    Holiday Luncheon ($750-$4,500)
o    Chili Slam (event sponsors range from $1,000-$6,000)
o    Chili Slam teams (various teams will range from $500-$1,000)
o    Engineer Appreciation Event ($1,000)
o    Membership Directory (advertisements range from $500-$1,500)
o    Vendor EXPO (exhibit tables $1,250 & $2,250)
o    Vendor EXPO Featured Sponsors ($1,500-$3,000)
o    Adventure Quest (donations will range from $250-1,500)
o    Career Center ($750)
o    New Benefits are being added every year
Average cost per vendor if they were to attend every single meeting & sponsor at least one event = less than $2,250 for professional advertising & networking!  Of course you can opt to do more but this would cover a minimum.

We couldn't exist without your support and we encourage our engineer members to always use an AAFAME vendor.
