It has been a long-time goal of the National Ready Mixed
Concrete Association to develop closer relationships with the
various state and area/local concrete associations around the
country. That's why we initiated our State Affiliate Program.
Now in its 4th year, we can count 56 state and
area/local associations as "partners" in this program. While
there are definite benefits for the associations themselves,
what you might not realize is that the biggest benefit goes to
you, our members.
Besides offering our state association partners discounts on
bulk publication orders and representation on NRMCA's Board of
Directors (fully ½ of NRMCA's Board of Directors is made up of
individuals nominated through the State Affiliate Program),
joint members of both their state association and NRMCA receive
significant rebates on many of NRMCA's most popular seminars and
courses. Your rebates are based on the overall number of joint
members shared by the associations or by calculating the
percentage of production in a state, represented by joint
members. Rebates range from 30% to 100% of the indirect costs
for eligible programs. For example, if you are a member of
NRMCA and a state affiliate organization with joint membership
between 51-70%, you automatically qualify for a 45% discount of
indirect costs. To date, NRMCA has rebated nearly $123,000 back
to joint members. You don't have to do a thing. NRMCA handles
all of the registrations and automatically rebates earned
discounts back to your company. Look for State Affiliate
Program information on the registration forms of eligible
courses.
So the next time you're thinking about attending an NRMCA
seminar or training course, remember to check to see if your
state association participates in this program – it could save
you money!
