Members of the media and invited Corporate Partners who want to join POMA as a founding member must submit an online, fax or mail application today or tomorrow to reserve a Charter or Cornerstone membership designation. Online applications are available at:

www.professionaloutdoormedia.org/Membership.htm

Charter and Cornerstone memberships are available in each POMA category (voting, associate, public agency and corporate partner). They are the highest levels of membership in the organization and will not be offered again.

"POMA has enjoyed incredible success," POMA Chairman and President, Betty Lou Fegely, explained. "In less than eight weeks, close to 200 members have joined the organization as founding members.

"With just under 36-hours to go in the Charter and Cornerstone Membership Campaign, we invite all media and industry professionals to take advantage of this last chance to become a POMA founding member."

Fegely reported that immediately after the campaign closes on Wednesday, POMA will deliver it's first monthly newsletter to members and will announce numerous membership services that will be launched in the coming two weeks.
