Chapter
Chapter Membership is available to local and regional industry associations whose members are signatory contractors with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) and perform work within the architectual glass and metal industry.
Annual dues for Chapter Membership are scaled based on the number of contractors in the chapter and are on top of dues required by the company member. Member associations receive full membership within the NAGMA, providing access to industry resources, collaboration opportunities, advocacy efforts, and national representation
Company Member
Company Membership is available to companies that belong to a local or regional association holding Chapter Membership in the NAGMA. Membership is extended through the chapter, allowing eligible companies and their employees to enjoy the benefits of NAGMA membership.
If you believe your local association is a current NAGMA Chapter Member, you may apply for Company Membership at a low annual amount scaled based on work-hours in the industry.
