Membership Categories and Qualifications

Generally, the following job titles are used to qualify potential members and allow for the Association to maintain a well balanced membership. Please check the category pertaining most closely to your position.
  • Vice President of Sales, Sales Director or Executive in Charge of Sales
  • Vice President of Marketing, Marketing Director, or Executive in Charge of Marketing
  • Sales or Marketing Consultant
  • Sales or Marketing Training Director
  • Principal/Owner(s) of a Company
  • Sales or Marketing Educator
Within these classifications, it is the association’s policy that salespeople whose primary responsibility is selling a company’s products or services, rather than managing other salespeople, do not qualify for membership. In all cases, the decision by the Board of Directors of the association prevails.

If you have been referred to MSED by a current member, please indicate that member’s name on the application in the field titled: “Sponsored by”.

Membership Dues & Renewal Policy

MSED membership is based on our fiscal year, July 1st through June 30th. The initial fee for all new individual memberships is $350 ($200 membership fee plus a one-time $150 initiation fee). Memberships are renewed each year in June at the rate of $200. All membership renewal payments are due by July 1st. Click here for information on our Corporate Membership Plan.

If you join once the fiscal year has already begun, you will pay the new member rate of $350 at the time you submit your application. The following June, you will receive a renewal invoice for a prorated amount based on the month you joined.

For example, if you join MSED in December you will pay the initial $350 dues. The following June, you will receive an invoice for $100 which are the prorated dues for your 2nd year of membership.

If you should have any questions regarding the above policy, please contact us at (248) 643-6590.
