*To calculate your number of employees: Count all employees in all your facilities located within a 50-mile radius of Dayton. If your company is located outside the 50-mile radius: count all employees in your facilities from which your company benefits by being a member. Annual dues will be invoiced upon application approval. Dues are billed annually in December and are pro-rated during the first year of membership.
**1 - 5 employees: Companies qualifying as a Manufacturer or Affiliate membership and who have 5 or fewer employees are provided a $150 discount on dues for two calendar years. After the second calendar year, the standard dues rate applies.
