Newsletter Advertising Policy
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
The PMI Chicagoland Chapter Newsletter is sent to over 4200 members ten months of the year. In July and August the newsletter is not published. Announcements, notices, or advertisements may be accepted for publication with the following conditions:
- All items for publication are subject to editorial review.
- Yearly sponsors are entitled to use one business card size space (2’ x 3½’) in each issue.
- The highest priority in terms of any space limitations which may occur are Yearly sponsors’ advertisements, announcements, and time-sensitive notices.
- The Chicagoland Chapter charges for ad space (see below); at the editor’s discretion, announcements and other information of interest to Chapter members may be published at no charge.
- Classified advertising in the Chicagoland Chapter newsletter is provided as a service to PMI members. The PMI member’s organization must be the primary employer. The name of the organization as well as a contact name and contact information must be included with the ad.
