WEA Member Responsibilities
Involvement is key. To get the full benefit of WEA membership for you and your company, attendance
at regularly scheduled business meetings is important.


However, it is also suggested that you:
Represent your firm with dignity and integrity
Discover and pursue practical ways of assisting other members
Give business information (leads) and act on information received
Provide referrals and contacts to other members
Pay dues on time
Recommend member firms to your own associates, employees, friend, and family
Assist in strengthening the association by serving as an officer or committee head when asked
Seek out qualified new members in open classifications
Member Application Process

Contact the Executive Director (phone number and email and postal addresses below). You should be invited to join by a member, your sponsor, but you may also nominate your own business for membership, if the classification appropriate for your business is open (see Open Classifications).
