SAME is committed to the vibrant relationships the Society has with its member companies and organizations —
and to ensuring a transparent process in working through respective changes with each company.
For current company members, these changes will go into effect with renewals beginning July 1, 2022. It is important to know: companies will have time to make decisions on their membership, as there will be no changes until a company is up for renewal. Companies will be invited to informational webinars on the changes prior to their renewal. The National Office will work with each company’s primary point of contact to help them best structure their membership going forward.
Key Company Changes

• Provides more flexibility for companies and individuals.
• Eliminates company “representatives”. All members will be Individual Members, including people who are paid for directly as part of a company membership.
•  Allows individuals who work for a member company to buy an Individual Membership at a corporate rate.
• Eliminates multiple member records. Every member will have one record.
• Individual Members who are paid for by the member company will “own” their membership (rather than be a “representative”). They take it with them if they leave the company, then they will be billed directly on an annual basis to renew. A company can opt to add individual memberships to its corporate invoice.
• Companies will purchase people and Posts separately. This gives companies more flexibility because they can select Posts where they most want to be involved.
• Companies will not have to purchase a Post just to allow a single person to join it. The individual can join at the corporate individual rate and join the Post(s)*** of their choosing. Individuals can join as many Posts as desired.
