Employees of corporate member can subscribe to receive the newsletter and have access to member only event prices. Employee emails must be used when purchasing member tickets so that corporate membership can be identified and confirmed.

 

Employees of corporate members do not need to create individual WLAQ accounts. If an account is created, a subscription plan will not be displayed in your 'My Subscriptions' tab and you will need to check with your employer to confirm their corporate membership status before registering for WLAQ events as a WLAQ member.
