Reward Scheme

As part of our ongoing commitment to quality, we have been contacting all of the relocation providers in Europe to bring them into the association.  Are you working with any providers who are not members?  If so, let us know and we will do the rest.  If a company recommended to us joins EuRA, you will receive a cash bonus of €75 at a presentation ceremony during our Rome conference, plus the chance to be entered into the prize draw for a much larger prize!  Send your suggestions for new members to:  Tad Zurlinden
