Only Vendor members may market their products and services at SCREIA sponsored events. (Non-Vendor members may promote their expertise only if they are part of the monthly program.) SCREIA members will not be permitted to publicly promote a non-Vendor member at a SCREIA sponsored event.

Check with the OREIA chapter before you attend their meeting to inquire about their policies.
