DEAR VENDOR:

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO BE AN EXHIBITOR AT THE ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION OF HOUSING AUTHORITIES ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT CLINIC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21st THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 2010 AT THE DECATUR CONFERENCE CENTER AND HOTEL (OLD HOLIDAY INN) DECATUR, ILLINOIS. WE INVITE YOU TO

“A FIESTA.”

Come meet with 300 purchasing decision-makers from both the public and private sector. The conference delegates are local housing agency executive directors, maintenance and management purchasing agents, capital improvement directors, commissioners and not-for-profit sponsors of housing, private developers and property managers of subsidized housing. These professionals will be seeking information on products, services, methods and techniques that will make them more effective managers. Just imagine being able to meet and talk with representatives from 103 Illinois Housing Authorities all in two days. You will never experience a better opportunity to bring or expand your product or service to housing professionals in the State of Illinois.

At our clinic, Exhibit Hours are never held separate from the main functions of the Clinic. It is very important to the IAHA that the conference and exhibition be very successful for you. Therefore, the members make sure that main functions and special attractions of the Clinic are held in the Exhibit Hall during prime viewing hours in order to maximize Exhibit Hall traffic flow. Vendors and Exhibitors from all over the Country have hailed IAHA’s sincere consideration of each Exhibitor’s product and service. Don’t miss this extraordinary chance to increase your sales in the State of Illinois.

When you register and attend the Clinic, you will be provided with a booklet, which includes your full-page ad, along with a list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of Executive Directors, Maintenance Supervisors and Directors of Capitalization of Housing Authorities in the State of Illinois—a benefit you can’t afford to pass up! REMEMBER these potential buyers will be coming directly to you! You also will become an Associate Member of the Association.

REGISTRATION IS EASY!

When registering MAIL your registration to Debbie Smith, Coordinator, RR#4, Box 48A, Albion, IL 62806 or you may FAX your registration sheet to 618-445-3603 then mail your check to the address above. Either way, DON’T DELAY!  Early registration allows you to get the booth of your choice. Booths are assigned on a first come first serve basis!

If you need additional assistance, please e-mail: dlsmith@fairfieldwireless.net or call me at 618-445-4028.

Again this year we are offering you a unique opportunity to advertise online.  Our website has introduced a large number of visitors to our services.  Much like the clinic, the web site is “bringing together over 100 housing authorities, architects, contractors and other vendors of the IAHA”.  This allows your company to be represented 365 days, 24 hours daily; long after the clinic has ended.  Vendors who sign up to advertise at our website will have their banner placed online for rotation for the next 12 months with your website and contact information displayed.  Vendors can provide business card contact information for as little as $25.00.  Just think, for pennies a day your company will get continuous exposure.  To find out more information about this offer, visit the Vendor page of our website!

I have enclosed the registration form and information package, which provides more details about this year’s Clinic. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call Debbie Smith at (618) 445-4028, Fax (618) 445-3603, e-mail: dlsmith@fairfieldwireless.net.

REGISTER EARLY – DON’T BE LEFT OUT! COME JOIN IN OUR FESTIVE GALA! WE WANT TO SEE YOU IN DECATUR!

Yours truly,

Deborah L. Smith, Coordinator
