The International Culinary Tourism Association is committed to the success of its members and chapters. To this end, we have assembled a detailed list of the benefits of chapter membership:
Starting
a new chapter is a “turn-key” process, meaning the structure is already in
place and set up for you. This reduces your time commitment and that of your
Chapter's members from a few hours to only a few minutes of Chapter management time
per month.
Our
online collaboration system helps promote Chapter discussions and project
collaboration, regardless of distance, time zone differences, and weather. Our
system keeps all information in one common place where all team members can
come together to work and discuss.
You
can work in your own language – English is not required.
Leverage
the professional impression of the ICTA brand for greater respect when you
apply for loans, grants and sponsorships for Chapter funding.
