In exchange for a higher level of support for the ABS, your company will qualify for a 25% discount on  magazine and Species Source List advertising rates, and your business logo will be prominently displayed on bamboo.org. You will be permitted to use the ABS logo on your website and in your literature for the duration of the membership. Your company logo on bamboo.org will link to your website, and likewise the ABS logo on your website shall link back to bamboo.org. Commercial memberships must be approved by the ABS Board and the ABS assumes no liability in either approving or denying the membership.

Commercial members, like other ABS members, will have a vote in ABS elections and business meetings. Note that chapter membership is not included (although you may add a chapter for an additional $15 per chapter).  There is no lifetime commercial membership option. If you already are an individual ABS member, you may pay a prorated difference to upgrade to the commercial level.

The cost: $300 for a twelve month commercial membership, plus $10 if you wish a printed copy of BAMBOO Magazine. 

All commercial members must comply with the ABS Mission Statement:

    “The American Bamboo Society is dedicated to expanding the understanding, appreciation, and utilization of bamboo. Through research, advocacy, education, and community outreach, the Society promotes the benefits of bamboo as a renewable and sustainable resource in horticulture, agriculture, art and industry.”
