Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO CREATE A GLOBAL NETWORK OF FREIGHT FORWARDING BUSINESS PARTNERS, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF LENDING SUPPORT TO INDEPENDENT FREIGHT FORWARDERS. TO PROVIDE A MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK FOR INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT FORWARDERS AND TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT FORWARDING.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING (GAM):THE ANNUAL GAM PROVIDES MEMBERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THEIR COUNTERPARTS FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD IN A SINGLE PLACE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MULTIPLE LONG BUSINESS TRIPS. THE ULTIMATE PURPOSES ARE TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS, DISCUSS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, STRATEGIZE METHODS TO BETTER SERVE MEMBERS' MUTUAL CLIENTS, DEVELOP BUSINESS TOGETHER AND MAKE JOINT DECISIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE ASSOCIATION. MEMBERS ATTENDING THE MEETING ARE REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF ORGANIZING AND CONDUCTING THE GAM. CONTRIBUTIONS COVER THE COST DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THE MEETING AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH MEMBER TO PAY INDIVIDUAL EXPENSES, SUCH AS TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, MEALS AND DRINKS. THIS MEETING IS NOW ALSO BEING USED AS A RECRUITMENT TOOL. COMPANIES THAT COULD BECOME MEMBERS OF OUR NETWORK ARE INVITED TO JOIN US AT THE GAM SO THAT THEY CAN GET TO KNOW THE MEMBERS PERSONALLY AND SEE HOW WE WORK TOGETHER. THIS HAS PROVEN A SUCCESSFUL WAY OF RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS AND OF KEEPING MEMBERSHIP SATISFIED.
RECRUITING INCENTIVE PROGRAM:THIS PROGRAM STATES THAT ANY MEMBER WHO RECOMMENDS A COMPANY AS A POTENTIAL MEMBER WOULD BE REWARDED IF THAT COMPANY WERE ACCEPTED AS A TPF MEMBER. THE INCENTIVE IS 30% OF THAT COMPANY'S ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE. THIS PROGRAM WAS DISCONTINUED IN 2018.
IN-HOUSE PROTECTION PROGRAMIN ORDER TO GUARANTEE MEMBER-TO-MEMBER PAYMENTS, TPF CREATED A FUND THAT WOULD PROVIDE FINANCIAL COVERAGE IN THE EVENT OF NON-PAYMENT BETWEEN TPF MEMBERS.
