MEMBERSHIP

Members are accepted in the organization as the only representative of a particular trade or business category. Members should represent their primary professional focus. Members are expected to be engaged in the SCTA Chapter by participating with regular attendance at all events, bringing qualified leads, and providing referrals. Members that wish to change their category must submit a new membership application for approval.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is first and foremost the utmost importance among our Association Members. Extreme caution should be exercised when discussing leads with individuals outside of the Association, including suppliers and manufacturers. We do not wish to jeopardize, in any manner, our Association and/or lead generators.

***Information obtained through the SCTA is to be kept confidential and conversations relating to prospective leads must only be discussed with other members of SCTA.***
