As you probably know, we’ve updated the Membership program to include tiers based on company size. There are no differences in benefits, just different price levels based on the number of employees.
There are three types of membership:
1) Registered Guests (free)
2) Individual Members ($125) – Intended for one-person shops or individuals
3) Company Members ($150 – $2,500) – Includes one Individual Membership and a number of Associate Member
See the graphic below.
Most members will be either Individual Members or in the Tier One Company Membership.
Important:
If you are a sole proprietor or one-person shop and intend to stay that way, you don’t have to do anything: Your membership will be converted to the new $125 annual price and your account will renew at that price.
If you have employees, we encourage you to upgrade to a Company Membership. This allows your employees to become Associate Members, so they can view all elements of the web site, sit in on meetings, participate in forums, etc. Associate members cannot vote or run for office, but can participate in all other activities.
The company tier levels are:
• Tier One Membership $150 – Company Size 1-5
• Tier Two Membership $375 – Company Size 6-15
• Tier Three Membership $1,250 – Company Size 16-50
• Tier Four Membership $2,500 – Company Size Over 50
