Professional Membership
This membership is for the majority of our members and potential members, and is the regular membership of the organization. It is inclusive of members across all modes, sectors, and professions and encompasses varying levels from two years in the industry through Vice President.
Under this category of membership there are multiple price points: Emerging Leader, Public Sector, Small Business/DBE, and Private Sector. Emerging Leader level memberships are available for up to two years, and intended to be an introductory membership to those just entering the transportation industry. The Emerging Leader level is recommended for those making below $75,000. See the dues schedule below for full dues prices.
Executive Membership
This membership is for individuals who are in leadership positions within their organization, typically at the Vice President or above level, and who are decisions makers and leaders within their respective organizations. As titles vary depending on country of residence, sector, and public or private companies, there is not a required title to obtain executive membership, but rather a recommendation that you are a senior leader in your organization that manages both people and budgets and are a decision-maker within the company.
