FIRMS

Leading international, noncompetitive businesses, and professional firms. Diverse companies are classified according to the nature of their business under two categories:

  • MAJOR — identifies the firm’s general area of business (such as bank: "FINANCE")
  • MINOR — relates to a firm’s specific area of business

There are approximately 100 MAJOR classifications—and thousands of MINOR classifications. Many firms will share the same MAJOR classification, but the MINOR categories are designed to be more individual and specific. At no time can two member firms in one Chapter have the same MAJOR and MINOR classifications.


Each member firm is entitled to three representatives with one vote per representative(s) at any Chapter meeting. Each member firm should name one Executive and possibly one Associate Executive.

SUSTAINING MEMBER

A Sustaining member is someone who has been a representative in good standing immediately prior to retirement from a member firm, who is no longer employed on a full-time basis with any business, governmental agency, non-profit enterprise or association actively engaged in the conduct of business. (Application is to be made within the 30-day period prior to retirement.) Sustaining members are encouraged to attend all membership meetings, functions, and to serve on a committee(s); however, they are not eligible to vote or hold a Board position.

LIFE MEMBER

When the Chapter desires to enroll a representative because of special meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty to the Chapter, it can name that individual as a Life Member. The Board, subject to approval of the Chapter, determines eligibility (which includes being a representative in good standing for at least 10 years). The Life Member is not entitled to vote unless presently listed as a representative for a member firm.

HONORARY MEMBER

The Chapter can name as an Honorary Member an individual who is not otherwise qualified for membership and whose name the Chapter desires to enroll because of special meritorious service to the community. The Board, subject to approval of the Chapter determines eligibility. The Honorary Member is not entitled to vote.
