Structure and Fees

Membership in a Sustaining/Supporting (Corporate) Membership is held by the company, and benefits are extended to individual employees who are designated by the company. Membership benefits may be transferred to any employee at any point in the membership year.

Corporate memberships are purchased in units. Each unit provides for a certain number of members designated in different membership categories or levels (i.e. Full, Regular, and Young Leader memberships). More of one type of membership can be reached in a unit by converting them on a sliding scale. This provides flexibility in terms of the level and number of memberships a firm can have.
