Memberships - For Profit Organizations
I own (or work for) a for-profit organization. Can my company join as a "Member Organization?"
That’s a great question, with a complicated answer.
This is going to sound really strange, but we would rather have join as an Individual.
Why? We don’t really have a proper category for a commercial membership. NOCC was founded under the presumption that member organizations would be civic-oriented (as in non-profits, school boosters, Kiwanis, and the like) and it operated under that model for years, which is how the “Member Organization” category came about. That is still the case under our current bylaws.
Your company would still be represented and welcomed, but through you as an individual member.
