New Global Membership Classification Established
In response to the demands of increasing industrial globalization, the SMTA has established a new Global Membership type. This level of membership is non-site specific and intended for large companies with multiple locations.
The SMTA Global Membership registers one central member holder and ten auxiliary holders at various sites, and all employees worldwide are entitled to member pricing on association products and services.
|
Corporate memberships, on the other hand, allow employees of designated company sites to receive member rates on SMTA products and services.
The person applying for corporate membership is the primary holder, though, and receives the full range of benefits.
Individuals who are not global or corporate holders should apply for one of the other classifications to receive the full range of benefits.
