The revised structure brings all former Chapter Associate members (except San Diego) under the umbrella of the state organization providing uniform benefits at a rate reflecting the business type of the Associate Member. Associate Members are now identified under three primary categories:

1) Professional Service Provider, 2) Material & Equipment Dealer/Supplier, and 3) Manufacturer/Producer.

As mentioned, San Diego is the exception to this rule. While most chapters have experienced significant inactivity which has resulted in the state association assuming all benefits delivery and administrative functions, the San Diego Chapter has remained an active and viable regional presence for its members. Therefore, the San Diego Chapter will retain its chapter status and its corresponding dues structure.
