The ACC Affiliates program is directed toward those interested in
helping to strengthen collecting clubs and supporting their memberships.
This includes antiques and collectibles dealers, antique malls, show
promoters, auction houses, appraisers, restorers, flea market owners,
columnists & authors, convention & visitors bureaus, and anyone else with
an interest in organized collecting groups and being informed of ACC
activities. Collectors, themselves, are welcome to become an affiliate,
too.
The serious, dedicated collector belongs to a collecting club, if one
exists in their area of collecting. For many collecting areas, the club,
society or association which supports that specific area is the backbone or
the knowledge base for that collecting area.
The Association of Collecting Clubs (ACC) exists to support these
groups and their memberships and we welcome your support in helping us to
do this. ACC works with over 5,000 collecting groups on six continents.
Some of these are local clubs with 20 or fewer members... others may have
thousands of members. But they all have some similar goals -- educating the
collector and assisting in helping them have an enjoyable experience as a
collector.
The ACC Affiliate Program helps fund major projects relating to
collecting clubs and collectors, including surveys, workshops, promotion,
membership recruitment, networking opportunities and program support.
Through our ACC News Service we promote club events and projects. Our ACC
Club directory is the largest and provides the most information of any club
directory on the Internet.
The Collectors Trade Show -- a virtual trade
show on our website -- offers clubs and their members sources for club and
collector-oriented products and services, including dozens of discounts.
ACC assists club leadership in areas like working with convention and
visitor bureaus and selecting the "right" locations and facilities for the
conventions and shows, securing liability insurance for their events and
information in areas like club management, member recruitment, global
marketing, reproductions, appraisals and repairs & restoration. The ACC/NAC
website at Collectors.Org is one of the oldest and largest free information
websites serving the antiques, art and collectibles industry.
An Affiliate may be an individual or a company - anyone with an
interest in collecting clubs is welcome to join. Affiliates have access to
the ACC News Service, and to the programs and services of both ACC and the
National Association of Collectors (NAC). You receive the Partners &
Affiliates electronic newsletters and special announcements, and will be
promoted to the club leadership and listed on the ACC website. ACC is
continually exploring new programs targeting networking opportunities
between collecting clubs and our partners and affiliates. We always welcome
your ideas.
We also welcome your support by promoting both ACC and NAC in ways you
may have available to you. The Logo Store provides tools for this purpose,
including a special Partners Member logo.
