Support for AMDA's activities comes from membership dues and contributions.  Standard Membership dues are $50 per year; voting membership is open only to businesses that derive a significant portion of their revenues from collecting, propagating, selling (wholesale or retail) or maintaining live marine animals and plants, or to individuals seriously planning to open such a business.  Membership contribution amounts are listed below.  To apply for membership in the American Marinelife Dealers Association, access our Membership Application above, and submit your application along with your membership dues per the instructions on the Membership form.

When you become a member, your name and business listing will be included in our Member Directory -- a valued and respected resource -- and categorized according to your classification (i.e. retail, wholesale, etc.).  You and your business will also receive recognition for your level of annual contribution.  In addition to the respect from the support and affiliation received as a member of the AMDA, membership benefits include:

• AMDA Website
• Quarterly Newsletter & Archives
• AMDA Members Message Board
• Knowledge Assessment Evaluation
• Co-operative Advertising
• Ecolist Database
