10.11.10 :: How-to Opt out of 3rd party benefits If you would like to opt out of 3rd Party communications, you can now
do so at the Customer Service Online pages available here. |
10.07.10 :: Opting out of 3rd party benefit programs Director of GWRRA GWRRA Members, GWRRA prides itself in the outstanding Member Benefits we offer to our Membership. Some of the benefits consist of discount programs offered by 3rd party vendors. Our membership realizes significant savings through participation in these discount programs. Recently we have successfully negotiated some new “GWRRA Member Benefit Discount Programs”. In order to provide these benefits to our Membership, GWRRA provides these 3rd parties with a list of our Membership information. This is done confidentially with the provider of the service on a one-time basis. The 3rd party provider is legally bound to only use this information as specified in the negotiated contract with them, which is to send you information about their programs. We take the release of confidential information of our Membership very seriously and go to great lengths to ensure that this information is used appropriately. However, some of our Members prefer that we do not share their information with these 3rd party program providers. We understand and respect their wishes. In the most recent issue of the “Wingin' It,” it was stated that if a Member chose to not have their information provided to these 3rd party providers, they would also no longer receive any communications from the Home Office, like “Wingin' It” and other similar communications. We received several contacts from our Membership disagreeing with this “all or nothing” option. Members Services agreed with this and worked with the IT Department to come up with a better solution. Starting immediately, a new “3rd party filter” has been added to the Membership Database. With this option turned on, Member information will not be sent to 3rd party providers. However, all other Home Office communications will continue to be sent to the Member. If you would like to opt out of having your information provided to our 3rd party providers, please contact Member Services at memberservices@gwrra.org or call them at 800-843-9460. I appreciate our Membership feedback regarding this issue and the timely solution that our Member Services and IT Departments came up with to address this issue. Sincerely, |

for all you do. :
“We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill In observance of Volunteer Recognition Day, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Volunteers of GWRRA. You, the Volunteers, are the key to our success, and we are fortunate to have the best volunteers around. Volunteers who put in countless hours: some by phone, some by computer, others by traveling and donating time at rallies. Many of you put in endless hours working behind the scenes, never asking for recognition or even a thank you. Your willingness to unselfishly share your time with other Members has enriched many lives. You always rise to the occasion and manage to go that extra mile for fellow Members. For your hard work and dedication to GWRRA, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Melissa Eason |
