    Visionary Membership Benefits

    Annual Dues: At least a $75,000 total investment ($25,000 of which must be dues)

     

    Visionaries are the most elite members of the Sustaining Membership Network. They lead the charge to advance graduate education, recognizing the uniquely powerful role graduate deans have to effect change in the complex landscape of higher education. Visionaries value corporate citizenship and are heavily invested in the endeavor of graduate education. The highest levels of benefits are reserved for Visionaries, who receive exclusive insider access to CGS expertise and membership. Companies qualify as Visionaries when they make an additional investment of at least $50,000 in sponsorships beyond their $25,000 dues payment.

     

    Like Collaborators, Visionaries have the option of proposing opportunities for engagement that are customized to their interests and priorities in the sphere of graduate education.
