SWAAAE also offers a cost efficient way for more individuals from your organization to participate in the association - Group Memberships!

Airport Group Membership Discount
For a flat fee of $950, your organization may enroll up to 20 members, making the cost for each individual to participate significantly lower. We also hope the new group discount will make the invoicing process easier for those organizations with multiple members. Airports that choose to take advantage of the group discount will receive just one invoice for a flat fee of $950.

To participate, download the Group Membership Discount Registration form below. Submit the simple form with your payment. Once enrolled in the group discount program, your organization will stay enrolled and receive only an annual flat fee invoice from the Chapter. If you have less than 20 members on your list, enroll new members at any time. Additional members may be added for a rate of $47.50 per person.

To easily determine how many individuals are members from your organization, visit the membership directory and enter your Company Name in the search field. The electronic roster will produce a list of members from your airport. If you require assistance, feel free to contact us.

Corporate Group Membership Discount
For a flat fee of $330, a Corporate Group Membership extends a Corporate membership to three employees or named members, with one retaining voting rights. Each named member is eligible for membership benefits. If so desired, companies with a Corporate Group membership can apply allotted conference discounts towards non-named members within the company. Additional members may be added for a rate of $82.50 per person.
