CITIBANK PROGRAM FOR GLIPS MEMBERS

Dear Members of the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society:

I would like to introduce to you yet another benefit of being a member of the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society: which is the relationship between GLIPS and Citibank.

GLIPS cares about its members enough to register as a "Bank at Work" relationship here at Citi. That means as a member of GLIPS you receive the following benefits when deciding to move your personal banking relationship over to the Citibank, Amityville financial center:

• Free Citibank Checking account with monthly direct deposit
• No fees for using non-Citibank ATMs in the US
• All 7-11 stores have Citi ATMs
• Discount on first mortgage
• Reduced rates on personal installment loans
• Competitive rates on home equity products
• Plus more

Please keep in mind as your career progresses, or if you have your own practice, we have an excellent commercial banking program. We can help in all phases of business from Cash management to Commercial mortgages. This represents a true partnership and individual service. Please contact me directly should you have questions or to enroll in the program.

The benefits of this relationship will remain intact as long as you continue to be a member of the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society or until further notice from Citibank.

Kind regards,
Joe Fioravanti
Financial Center Manager
Citibank, Amityville, NY

2008 District Branch Dues 

GLIPS dues are billed independently from APA/NYSPA dues.  Third dues notices were mailed in May and are now past due.  Members are urged to help keep administrative costs to a minimum by paying District Branch dues promptly.

In accordance with new APA policy, any member whose dues are not paid by October 31st will be dropped from membership.

Members with outstanding dues are urged to pay these dues promptly to avoid termination of membership.
