Dues = Investment

ABMA dues are an investment your organization makes annually toward its own profitability and that of the entire industry. Your return on this investment is directly related to the time and energy spent working together. Like a health club membership, it is easy to belong but the real benefits come from participating.

Please refer to your company's Annual North American Sales Volume in the table below. The amount of Annual Dues for each member in the current year shall be established as detailed below:

Each member shall be assigned the following number of Dues Units each year based on its Annual North American Sales Volume for its last completed fiscal year. (With respect to Affiliate members, Annual Sales Volume is limited to sales of the Broom, Brush, Mop, and Roller Industry.)

Testimonials

The ABMA is a valuable organization both personally and professionally for me and for Monterey Mills. The connections that I have made over the years have been strengthened through the Convention.

Ed LowderMember

Learning Leadership: I volunteered for ABMA service early on in my career and learned how to deal with and participate on the Board of Directors. I learned negotiation skills, the art of listening, getting your two cents in, how to get a room full of chiefs to do the work of Indians as well as develop a whole new kind of camaraderie and friendship.

Kristin DraperMember

The main reason I am an ABMA member is for the opportunity to network with peers. A large percentage of our business is selling brushes to other brush companies. Networking with other brush companies in the ABMA has been valuable in numerous ways, such as increasing our sales.

Gus TresloMember

The ABMA convention gives me an opportunity to further cement relationships that I have with existing customers and to inform other companies of our capabilities.

D. Mark FultzMember

The relationships I have built over the years will help my company thrive well into the future.

R.J. LindstromMember

Contacts I made at ABMA conventions have led to almost $1 million in sales annually for our company. Not a bad way to spend 4 days at a luxury resort.

Ken RakusinMember

Managing a business requires good information. ABMA provides a wealth of information. Everything from industry statistics including wage and benefit surveys for benchmarking to learning what is coming down the road in the brush industry worldwide.

John CottamMember

Being a member of the ABMA has benefited my company greatly. With a focus on in-person networking and education the advantages go well beyond other trade organizations.

R.J. LindstromMember

The ABMA and the annual convention has been the foundation for the many relationships I have made with both suppliers and manufacturers. Those relationships are immeasurable in their value.

Brian KeiserMember

As a brush manufacturer, I receive numerous sales leads from the convention and from referrals from other brush makers. If you make a point to attend all of the meetings, meet the members and promote your business, you will establish the long term relationships that will benefit your business well into the future.

Jeff MalishMember

Networking, Networking, Networking.

Ian MossMember

Almost 50% of our customer base was built on attending and meeting potential customers at ABMA conventions. Certainly visiting customers without attending ABMA is possible, but it's the camaraderie that helps develop not only customer/vendor relations, but also friendships.

Carlos PetzoldMember

Five years ago I found and qualified a new raw materials supplier. The cost savings was $31,000 per year.

Robert FowlieMember

I have been a member for over 30 years, with three different companies and there is no other forum where one can actually get face time with the Owners and Presidents of major customer companies, in a relaxed and convivial setting.
