The Professional Beauty Association has introduced a new membership structure to accommodate its growing membership and to continue to craft a value-based experience for its members.
The new structure consists of three new membership types: Business Member, Individual Member and E-Member.
The Business Membership provides benefits focused on the growth and development of the business and better supports and engages the employees of the member company, while the Individual Membership provides benefits that support individual members’ personal career growth and enrichment.
The E-Membership provides electronic benefits only at no cost.
The new structure will allow the PBA to better serve its members and tailor its services to each member’s needs.
“We really wanted to offer a membership model that better represents our changing industry. The new structure supports all types of industry professionals and extends affordable membership options for both individual and business members,” explained the PBA’s Membership & Association Programs director Elizabeth Fantetti. “The PBA team has been working to make this transition as seamless as possible, and we look forward to this opportunity to better serve our members.”
The new membership allows students to join for $20, licensed and unlicensed industry professionals to join for $50 and businesses to join for as little as $175. In addition:
- Business member dues levels will be based on the number of employees designated to receive member benefits, and annual dues will be calculated on an anniversary date renewal cycle.
- Business members should encourage employees to complete an online profile to receive a more personalized membership experience based on their individual needs.
- Admission to events, access to online and live education, entrance fees to competitions and various other resources will be offered at up to 50% off non-member rates.
Through this simplified structure, members are able to access information across the association, providing unlimited learning and resource potential. Additionally, PBA members will have more control over their membership—from choosing the level of dues best suited for their business, to saving individual members money by only paying for the benefits they need. Both membership types will have 12-month terms billed annually on the member’s join or renewal date.
