New Introductory TN-PHCC Membership Announced

For the first time ever in the 128 year history of the PHCC, in an unprecedented move, the Plumbing-Heating- Cooling Contractors Association is offering an introductory membership rate at more than 50% off the full rate for the first year of membership. With these economic times, the PHCC feels that this offer will allow the contractor the “experience” of PHCC at a reduced rate to increase the exposure to the value of membership in the PHCC Association. The first plumbing contractor to take advantage of the new Introductory PHCC Membership is Arthur Smotherman of Arthur the Plumber plumbing company in Whites Creek. The PHCC offers 3 memberships for one low annual fee- $350 (National PHCC, State PHCC and local Chapter PHCC) Criteria to take advantage of this offer: . Introductory Membership is available only once to a firm that is engaged in the plumbing and/or heating and/or cooling and/or mechanical contracting industry that has never been a member of the association. An Introductory Member may only retain this designation for a maximum of twentyfour (24) months from the date the firm joined, and must maintain an affiliation with the National, State and/ or Local Association as described in the bylaws. . Dues for Introductory Members are at least a fifty percent (50%) discount of active member dues for the first year and at least a seventy- five percent (75%) discount of active member dues in the second year. . Introductory members may attend meetings and enjoy all other privileges and benefits of membership, except that they may not vote, hold office or propose resolutions or amendments to the bylaws. . Must attend 50% of Chapter Meetings during membership period. . Must attend one National PHCC webinar during membership period. (free to members) . Must attend one State sponsored event during membership period. If the above criteria are met during the first membership year, a second year renewal is 25% off the regular member price. Or, at any time, the introductory member may pay the membership fee difference and become a full member (2012 rate of $772.00 per year).
