What is a Certified Cotton Gin Program Authorized Partner?
The Certification Program recognizes that its members’ benefit from its brand may be further leveraged through the products and services of other companies. Of course, these products and services come with a cost. Members will benefit from these products and services to varying degrees, so rather than impose them on all of the members, the program has established an Authorized Partner program. Authorized Partners are screened by the Certification Program based on their ability to enhance the Certification brand and/or benefit members. Examples might be a web-based cotton marketplace that incorporates your Certification level into their on-line database, someone who helps you promote your Certification status, technical consultants who help you achieve a higher level of Certification, or an insurance company that offers discounts to members based upon reduced risk. Because the services and products are completely optional, members are free to select only the ones that will be beneficial
