How do we become a Dining Out for Life Organization?

Beginning July 20th, 2003 all agencies receiving a license will be required to hold Dining Out For LifeŽ on the last Thursday in April.

Dining Out For LifeŽ is unique in that it only allows one license per city and one media market. This offers you protection from another agency duplicating your event. The International organization serves as the watchdog for the group and will follow-up with any unlicensed agency producing the event. The annual fee for the license is $1,000. Upon attending the annual Dining Out for Life conference in July, $400 of that fee will be returned to your agency, which brings the total fee to $600.

As a participating agency you would have access to 14 years of history in producing this event. License agencies around the country will share sponsorship program structures, forms, designs and much more.

Once you are accepted as a licensed agency, you would be assigned a mentor who will assist you during your first year of producing the event. This person will have already produced the event and is experienced and knowledgeable in locating information to help you.

The International organization is also working to secure sponsorship dollars on an international level. These dollars will be shared with all agencies and are provided to you at no cost, either of income or time.
