Core Membership Meeting | 51st Annual Meeting | Vancouver, BC, Canada RPP As A Member Benefit RPP Overview - Membership antoinettec@jlbshipping.com
Core Membership Meeting | 51st Annual Meeting | Vancouver, BC, Canada RPP As A Member Benefit RPP Overview Current Program Conclusions: • Membership levels are not sufficient to sustain program • RPP delivers great value though: • Participating companies pay approximately $138 USD per year • They receive approximately $1,100 USD per year in benefits: • RPP Claims • Invoice Dispute Resolution Process • IAM Alleged Debtor List Circulation • RPP Logo next to Company name of IAM Online and Print Directory antoinettec@jlbshipping.com
Core Membership Meeting | 51st Annual Meeting | Vancouver, BC, Canada RPP As A Member Benefit RPP At a Crossroads Proposal: Include this valuable benefit in with your membership rather than keeping it as an opt-in program. More members will yield a bigger base by which we can build up the fund: • IAM would be able to increase payouts per claims. • IAM will have expanded resources to intervene on payment disputes between members. • With more companies provided access to the Alleged Debtor List, the more valuable it becomes! • The cost to participate will likely be lower if the RPP is included as a member benefit. antoinettec@jlbshipping.com
