Preferred PARtners can save members thousands of dollars a year on everything from marketing tools to prescription eyewear. Members must purchase through the PAR website to qualify for savings. Your purchase/subscription of particular products or services earns PAR non-dues revenue, which helps the Association keep member dues as low as possible.
