How membership in the IGA works
A member in the IGA is actually the company itself. A
single company may have many employees that have access to the "member only"
features and benefits of the IGA website. Membership dues are based on
the annual gross sales (in U.S. dollars) of hand and arm protection products
that your company produces or sells. Dues are divided into the following three tier
structure:
For annual sales of: Membership fee is:
- $5,000,000 or less $595.00
- $5,000,001 to $10,000,000 $1045.00
- $l0,000,001 and over $1345.00
(We rely on the individual to be honest when indicating their company sales; this is a matter of your personal and company integrity!)
