How to Become an Associate Member

As valued partners within the horticultural supply industry, rather than asking for a monetary dues payment, NAHSA believes that a quid-pro-quo arrangement is the best way to maximize these relationships.  The following are suggested “dues” for each respective sub-type:

Industry Consultants: a discount or royalty program would be suitable for consultants who will gain valuable exposure to key players in the industry. 

Trade Press: discounts on advertising for NAHSA Members that use their NAHSA logo in ads is requested along with two half-page ads in a calendar year for the Association to promote its Annual Meeting and additional events, etc.  Trade press delegates are provided exclusive access to top companies in the industry for interviews, features, data and current events.

University/Academia: options for a quid-pro-quo relationship include making industry research and data available to NAHSA Members, discounted speaking engagements at NAHSA’s Annual Meeting as well as providing articles for NAHSA to publish in its quarterly e-newsletter, The Landscape.
