Associate Membership

Even if you don’t operate a retail hardware, lumber, or building materials store, you may still be a member of the Midwest Hardware Association.

Through our Associate Membership program, any firm or individual actively engaged in manufacturing, distributing, supporting, or serving any facet of the retail hardware industry is eligible for membership. We welcome the support of vendors, wholesalers, service providers, and fellow independent retailers.

The annual Associate Membership dues investment is $260 per calendar year. It includes a subscription to MHA’s monthly electronic newsletter eHELPS, and access to most MHA-sponsored programs and services.
