How to Join as a Business Affiliate

  1. Apply with a sponsor letter. Submit the application with at least one sponsor letter from a current TRMA Voting Member company. A current Business Affiliate that works with your company may also send a sponsor letter.
  2. Bring in a new Voting Member. If your company brings a new Voting Member to TRMA, you automatically receive an interview with the TRMA Board of Directors.
  3. Otherwise, join the waiting list. When an opening occurs, the Business Affiliate Relationship Committee recommends companies to the Board for membership consideration.
  4. Board interview and decision. The Board interviews applicants and approves or denies membership. TRMA reserves the right to balance its Business Affiliates by the type of business they offer.
