AIA Membership Task Force Welcome!
Membership Fee Structure • Manufacturers Agents Number of Employees • Allied Flat Fee • Manufacturers Sales Volume • Retailers Sales Volume • Strategic Business Partners (SBP) Flat Fee • Warehouse Distributors Sales Volume • Wholesalers Sales Volume + GMP • Rebuilder Sales Volume • Associations Number of ASP Members • National Distributors Sales Volume
Challenges • Onus on AIA Staff/Resources to administer • Dues structure complex • Jobbers chased to pay, payments not coming in until 2nd or 3rd quarter • Makes long-term planning difficult due to instability of income • Takes focus off other Key Areas • Dues do not reflect bay capacity • Planning difficult • Based on Honor system • Fairness of system is questionable • Non-members of Association also benefit but do not contribute evenly • i.e. – Right to Repair efforts • Concerns with actual representation of industry • Growth & maturity of WD programs impacted jobber memberships • Difficulty in translating some of our services (i.e. BCCA and R2R) as a direct benefit to jobbers • Value propositions shifting..different cost structure
Opportunities • Increased satisfaction in Association should result in increased membership • Association restructuring (governance) provides window of opportunity for change • Membership growth in Retail Sector = wider reach to more outlets • Members looking for one fee for the year • Increased need for programs such as market research / lobbying
Key Recommendations • Simplify billing process • Create a revenue model that is inline with reality of today's industry • Engage major WD’s & Retailer’s • Allow members to plan for the year
