MEMBERSHIP GROUP
WHY IS ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP SO IMPORTANT?
According to recent research, over 85 percent
of businesses that fail are not members of
a trade association. No matter the industry,
trade associations give their members many
advantages in a fast-paced, competitive world.
To join an association is to become a member of a community, a
place to belong, where like-minded people share knowledge and
work together toward goals they couldn’t achieve alone.
For all the non-members who still have the mind set “What’s in
it for me?” and it “Costs too much”, we want to ask you a few
questions:
• Who publishes and provides the complimentary plumbing
and HVAC magazine you are reading right now?
• Who is on the firing line twenty-four hours a day, seven days
a week, defending the interest of the plumbing and HVACR
industry?
• Who continues working to pass and implement residential
licensing?
• Who is implementing an on-line eLearning apprenticeship
program to help train and educate our future workforce?
• Who keeps contractors up to date with fast-moving
developments in the plumbing and HVACR industry?
• If you can’t afford membership as a business expense, what
are you doing wrong in your business?
Isn’t it about time you decided to give something back to an
industry that has helped provide you with the means to make a
living through the years? Don’t you want to gain access to the
most powerful, successful and influential business people in
the industry to help you overcome problems and become more
successful?
Don’t you think it’s about time you joined? See our membership
applications on pages 26 and 33
