As we head to 99 STRONG, we must continuously evaluate where the cooperative stands to make sure we are benefiting all of you in the best possible way. For that reason, effective immediately, we will be discontinuing the Affiliate Member program.
Originally, the program started for practices that did not quite meet our qualifications but by being affiliate members could possibly benefit the cooperative. Even though affiliate members only receive Entheos pricing and access to humanitarian trips while gaining no other services, affiliates still have administrative costs to the cooperative and create potential market conflicts. When we closely assessed the program, we found affiliate members do not provide enough back to you, the cooperative to justify keeping the program active.
Again, effective immediately, we are discontinuing the Affiliate Member program. When we are fully at 99 STRONG, the cooperative can then revisit the possibility of ancillary programs that can be mutually beneficial, providing revenue to the cooperative while providing actual services of value. We want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the Entheos family. We will be in touch and keep you apprised of new programs as they become available.
