The Independent Management Report, an award-winning newsletter for members only, is published 24 times per year and distributed via email. It features management and marketing information for company owners. Among its most popular issues is the annual compensation survey for distributor companies, the only source for such information in the industry. A Valuable, Business-building Network One of the most valued benefits of membership is DMIA's network of expertise available through fellow members. The DMIA membership places great emphasis on helping one another achieve their goals and succeed.
Members often find that some of the most valuable education they receive comes from each other.
Nowhere else is such a vital group of professionals available, accessible, and so willing to share their experiences. To facilitate interaction, DMIA offers forums for both formal and informal exchange, including discussion meetings, committees, mixers, and social functions at DMIA events. Online forums include a broadcast email service for company principals and interactive message boards. DMIA also promotes business relationships through the Information Central Source Hotline. The Hotline enables members to work through DMIA staff specialists to locate suppliers with the products, services and capabilities they need to help their customers.
