REFERRALS
The Morgantown Area Partnership is committed to increasing each member’s business through referrals.
The Partnership receives over 1,000 requests every year from various organizations, businesses and agencies seeking products or services. It is our standard to only promote our members through these requests. This is just another means for demonstrating the value of your membership.
The added value of only referring members increases energy and enthusiasm within the Partnership, and members can also refer one another using our online Member Information Center.
