of each organization. For additional information, contact APICS

Enterprise Membership:
APICS enterprise
membership is designed for organizations with 50 or more employees
at more than one location. The APICS enterprise membership enables
your organization to provide training and resources to a broad base
of employees cost effectively. Enterprise members obtain full access
to APICS members-only resources, networking, and customized
benefits.
The membership is
retained by your organization rather than the individual, allowing
your organization to transfer an individual membership to another
employee within the organization at any time. Enterprise members
enjoy the convenience of a single billing contact.
The
enterprise membership has a tiered structure. APICS offers
enterprise members the opportunity to add additional members based
on a sliding scale (illustration below). The current group
membership structure will be phased out and current group members
will transition to enterprise members as memberships come up for
renewal.
