Membership dues guidelines for the Public Affairs Council are based on the industry sector and, if applicable, annual sales for your organization. Within the applicable dues range, membership dues amounts are discretionary.

Prospective member organizations should take into account their total annual sales and the size of their public affairs staff. For example, organizations at the high end of the annual sales figures for their industry sector, or with a large public affairs staff, should provide higher levels of financial support. Each new member company begins at the minimum dues level for their range and may gradually be increased over time based on annual sales, size of public affairs staff and activity with the Council.

The Council does not offer individual memberships. All members of a company's public affairs staff are eligible to receive the services and discounts of membership.

The Public Affairs Council is a 501(c)(4) organization. As such, your dues may be deductible as a business expense.
