Annual fees associated with establishing and maintaining a Sisters Elevating Sisters (SES) chapter, including the use of the trademarked name and branding:
This fee covers the cost of affiliating your chapter with the main SES organization and gaining access to resources, support, and networking opportunities. The amount may vary depending on the size and scope of your chapter and the services provided by the main organization
To use the trademarked name "Sisters Elevating Sisters" and associated branding elements (such as logos, slogans, and graphics), your chapter will need to obtain a license from the trademark owner (presumably the main SES organization). This fee ensures legal permission to use the trademarked materials and may be paid annually or as a one-time fee.
Chapters may be required to adhere to specific brand guidelines set forth by the main SES organization to maintain consistency and integrity across all chapters. This fee covers the cost of reviewing and ensuring compliance with these guidelines, including logo usage, color schemes, fonts, and messaging.
Members of the SES chapter may be required to pay annual membership dues to support chapter activities, events, and operational expenses. These dues contribute to the sustainability of the chapter and may vary depending on the services and benefits provided to members.
If the chapter hosts events or activities throughout the year, there may be additional fees associated with venue rentals, catering, marketing materials, and other event-related expenses. These fees should be factored into the chapter's annual budget and may vary depending on the scale and frequency of events.
Chapters may be required to obtain liability insurance to protect against potential risks associated with hosting events and activities. The cost of insurance premiums will depend on factors such as coverage limits, deductibles, and the chapter's location and activities.
Some chapters may offer training and development programs for members, such as leadership workshops, skill-building seminars, or certification courses. Fees associated with these programs may be included in the chapter's annual budget or charged separately to participants
