What are the benefits of membership?
Please click on the Member Center tab to see a detailed list of both supplier and industry member benefits.

Why does a property manager require a supplier to be an AAGW member to do business with them?
Our supplier members support many of AAGW's activities and initiatives.  Their contributions also help our advocacy efforts and have helped favorably shape the industry. Many of our industry members want to repay these supplier members for their generous support, by choosing to do business with only AAGW members.
By being a member, attending events and networking, supplier members learn about the needs and parameters property managers must work within.  Therefore, supplier members have a better understanding of property managers' needs, making it easier to do business with them.
​
What fees are there besides dues?
Most events have an attendance fee.  By looking at our calendar of events you can get a feel for budget items.  Some things to think about are:

• monthly ​membership meetings - $35/person
• supplier trade show booths - $250
• sponsorships - wide variety from a box of donuts to a $5,000 Round for the Red sponsorship
• advertising - several options from $175-$500

Do I have to pay a full year of dues when I apply for membership later in the year?
Dues are automatically prorated by quarter when you apply for membership.

• ​January 1 - March 31 - 100%
• April 1 - June 30 - 75%
• July 1 - September 30 - 50%
• October 1 - December 31 - 25%

When will I find out if I was approved for membership?
Within a couple of days of the submission of your application and payment of your dues, you should receive a confirmation email that your membership has been activated.

Why do I need to provide a referral on my application?
We have a member recruitment program to encourage our current members to invite other properties and suppliers to become members.  By providing who you were referred by we can thank them for spreading our name and reward them with a gift card.

How do I get involved in a committee?
Take a look at our Committee page under the "About" tab.  It will include descriptions of all our committees and the contact information for the chair of that committee.
