New NSSGA membership plan for small operations

By |  February 13, 2015

Good news for smaller aggregate operations. The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) now offers a lower-price membership option for single-location producers with fewer than 10 non-office employees. There are some limitations, as this new “eProducer” membership does not come with voting rights, for instance, but it’s an opportunity for producers to benefit from the association in other ways. This includes discounted rates for NSSGA events, an opportunity to participate in the association’s Safety Committee and more.

And NSSGA benefits, as well.

“With greater resources and numbers, NSSGA can do much more to impact the upcoming debate over the soon-to-expire highway trust fund patch and some of the onerous regulations that threaten the industry,” says Alan Parks, vice president, Memphis Stone and Gravel Co., and chairman of NSSGA’s Membership Committee.

NSSGA’s “eProducer” membership is offered at an annual rate of $325. To qualify, a company must operate a single facility located in the United States, have fewer than 10 non-office staff and not have been an NSSGA member within the past two years. This category does not entitle the company to vote or the opportunity to serve in a leadership role. Producers interested in full membership benefits must apply and join as a regular Producer member with minimum dues starting at $1,000.
