Full members are invoiced based on direct written premiums; however, we also offer full membership to other organizations (i.e., surety brokers, consultants, legal firms, etc.) and the fee is determined based on the number of office locations.
Affiliate members are charged a flat annual fee of $3,000. Please CLICK HERE to view the current membership fee structure.
