discount options below!
NAWIC Columbus does offer a discount on chapter dues for corporate memberships when there are multiple people joining. The real advantage of the corporate membership versus the active membership is that the membership stays with the company, not the individual. If you have an employee leave your company, you could then transfer their membership to someone new.
​
A single corporate membership is $361 per year.
​
If there are multiple people joining as corporate members, the dues are as follows:
​
First Corporate Member ($40 Discount) = $321 per year
​
Second Corporate Member ($90 Discount) = $271 per year
​
Third (and any additional) Corporate Member ($115 Discount) = $246 per year
​
Note - there are several companies that have multiple (individual) members, but only companies with multiple corporate memberships are eligible with the discount.
​
Companies with multiple corporate memberships would register their membership at the NAWIC website, select "pay later," then print and compile the invoice of multiple corporate members, and remit with payment to NAWIC Columbus at PO Box 122 Amlin, OH 43022.
​
Otherwise, all memberships can be paid for directly at the NAWIC website.
