5. Non-members who wish to attend a regular Association meeting must be invited as a guest of a current member. The member must also be present to introduce the guest to the other attendees.

A new non-manufacturing organization wishing to join the Association must recruit at least two new manufacturing members before its application can be approved.  In addition to ensuring that those applications are submitted to the Association, their names must be included on the applicant’s Membership Application form.  Exceptions to this recruiting requirement may be made in special cases where it is determined that the applicant will deliver a unique and valuable contribution to the Association.
