NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS
COUNCIL OF MANUFACTURING ASSOCIATIONS
Recruitment Talking Points
There are approximately 240 organizations among the NAM's Council of Manufacturing
Associations (CMA) representing almost every manufacturing industry sector.
Member Associations range from very small niche organizations to some of the largest
manufacturing trade associations in the US.
Along with the ability to be involved in policy and advocacy activities that involve your
manufacturing members, you are also connected to a large network of peers.
We participate in a manufacturing association-only compensation survey annually with Quatt
Associates providing you with valuable benchmarking information on compensation and
benefits.
Dues are based on a sliding scale depending on your association’s annual revenue. Dues
range from a minimum of $720 per year to a maximum of $3,588 per year.

• Issue Updates, Action Alerts, Sign-on Letters on federal public policy issues.
• Semi-annual leadership conferences covering timely political and association
management issues.
