Membership benefits include a listing on the slateroofers.org web site with access to the “members only” section of the site.
2) Affiliate Member: $300.00 U.S./year: This category is open to those who are involved in the general slate manufacturing industry, roofing industry, architectural, consulting, and design industries, etc., but who are not roofing contractors who are actively engaged in slate roofing practices.

3) Non-Profit Affiliate Member: Free: For non-profit 501c3, 501c6, or unincorporated state-registered non-profit associations engaged in related activities such as roofing, general construction, historic preservation, building trades education, materials standards, construction specifications, or other non-profit categories directly or indirectly related to slate roof contracting. Each non-profit affiliate membership will be considered a single, non-voting member. Dues are waived for non-profit affiliates, but such members must submit an updated membership application on a yearly basis as a condition of continuing membership. Member non-profits are encouraged to offer a similar reciprocal, dues-free membership to the SRCA.
