Associate Membership - Private Equity Firm:
At least one subsidiary company of a private equity firm must be a WWEMA member in order for a private equity firm to separately hold a WWEMA membership. Dues are calculated using the same manufacturer dues schedule that is based on total gross sales to the water and/or wastewater industry for each held company with any dues paid by the respective private-equity-held WWEMA-member company(ies) subtracted from the amount owed by the private equity parent company, subject to a $5,000 minimum dues level.
Associate Membership - Parent company of multiple manufacturer representative firms:
Membership is desired to be held by the individual manufacturer representative firm at the doing-business-as (DBA) company level, although parent companies of manufacturer representative firms are separately eligible for Associate membership. In the latter instance, the parent company’s dues would be calculated based on the sum of the dues for all their respective held companies minus any dues paid by their individual companies holding a separate WWEMA membership, subject to a $5,000 minimum dues level.
