Affiliate Membership
Affiliate members are those companies that distribute and supply SMACNA contractor members with the materials and supplies the contractors require to get the job done. That may be a 10,000 lb. air conditioning system, fire dampers, fans or a myriad of items necessary to do the job right. Affiliate membership is a great way to network with contractor members, and further build relationships with them.
A brief listing of the services and programs available to affiliate member firms is listed below.
A. Quarterly Membership Meetings
SMACNA’s quarterly meetings begin with a late afternoon program selected especially for SMACNA members. Programs are specifically selected to be both entertaining and educational weighing the industries technical needs with their general business and communication needs. The program is followed by a membership reception and dinner. The meetings offer opportunities for affiliate and contractor members to network in a relaxed atmosphere.
SMACNA-Western Washington hosts the reception and dinner for one representative from each affiliate member company; additional company representatives are welcome to attend for the cost of the dinner.
B. Annual Golf Tournament
SMACNA’s Golf Tournament is a top notch event that both the duffers and pros among us look forward to each year. Many affiliate member companies utilize this opportunity to market their company through the various sponsorship opportunities, as well as play golf with their favorite customer.
C. Annual Christmas Program
Held in early December, SMACNA’s Holiday Gala & Annual Program serves as the debut of the holiday season and has an attendance of nearly 200 guests. This formal holiday party takes on a life of its own typically including a high-spirited theme.
SMACNA-Western Washington hosts the reception and dinner for one couple from each affiliate member company; additional company representatives are welcome to attend for an additional cost.
D. Annual Crab Feed
One of SMACNA-Western Washington’s oldest traditions… members from across the Puget Sound meet in Aberdeen, WA for all-you-can-eat crab, fresh from the bay. It’s a much anticipated event for 200 plus guests every year.
