Association Membership
The Association was incorporated in 1993, as the Snowy Monaro Business Enterprise Centre Incorporated. Members support the organisation financially or with "in-kind" support.
Financial membership is available at 2 levels – standard business through payment of $165 and corporate through payment of $1,000. Sponsor membership can also be gained through a commitment of an "in-kind" donation. Management Board members gain their Association membership from the commitment of their "in kind" donation of time in attending management meetings. See Membership form for details.
Association membership allows members voting rights at Association general meetings, nomination to the Management Board, and recognition as members in our annual report, our website and Members' Board in the Centre reception.
