NFRC's 2010 Membership Category and Dues Schedule

All NFRC members must belong to one of the designated membership categories described below. Please review these categories carefully and select the category that you believe best describes your organization. Please note that any organization qualified for the Fenestration Industry category and another membership category will be placed in the Fenestration Industry category. In addition, any organization that qualifies both in the Lab category and another membership category will be placed in the Lab category. Please also note that NFRC's three basic membership categories correspond directly with the three categories established for NFRC's Board of Directors. Therefore, representatives of NFRC members are eligible to run for Board seats in the same category as their organization's membership category.

NFRC's Board of Directors must review and, as appropriate, approve your organization's admission to NFRC membership and your organization's membership category. The Board may ask for additional information to confirm the most appropriate membership category for your organization
