Core Members
Core membership is generally for an entire government jurisdiction (i.e. a city or county) and includes access for each staff member within the jurisdiction. Other examples of jurisdictions that would apply to be core members would be independent agencies that specifically serve government entities – often formed through an act of legislation or executive order.
Examples: Washington County, OR; City of Chicago, IL; Atlanta Beltline, Inc., GA
Core Members pay annual dues on a sliding scale, based on number of employees:
- Up to 1,000 employees =
$1,000
- 1,001 to 4,000 employees =
$5,000
- 4,001 to 8,000 employees =
$7,500
- 8,001 to 14,000 employees = $12,500
- 14,001 to 20,000 employees = $17,500
- More than 20,000 employees = $22,500
A jurisdiction may become a member at any point during the year.
Annual renewal dates are based on the original date of joining and are subject to completion of the membership renewal process.
