How membership in the IGA works

A member in the IGA is actually the company itself. A single company may have many employees that have access to the "member only" features and benefits of the IGA website. Each person from a member company wishing access to the "member only" website features, must also register, creating their own user name and password. If the company is already a member, they will not be invoiced again.

Membership dues are based on the annual gross sales (in U.S. dollars) of hand and arm protection products that your company produces or sells.

Current 2009 dues are divided into the following three tier structure:

For annual sales of: Membership fee is:

$5,000,000 or less $595.00
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000 $1045.00
$l0,000,001 and over $1345.00

(We rely on the individual to be honest when indicating their company sales; this is a matter of your personal and company integrity!)
