Although our primary goal is to have managers of healthcare facilities, we recognize that having vendors as members also benefits the association. Therefore, we offer two types of memberships:

	Healthcare Facility Manager Memberships
	Social Memberships for Vendors

Memberships for Healthcare Facility Managers

Regular Membership

The regular membership of the Association shall consist of persons who are actively engaged as a person directly in charge of the Maintenance (and/or) Engineering Department of a health care facility, or his or her Assistants. Contracted health care professionals meeting the requirements stated herein and are approved by the Executive Committee and voted into membership at a regular meeting shall be considered regular members. The Association shall continue regular membership to those members laid-off due to reductions for one year, if the individual makes such request to the Association.

A company is eligible to join the Association as a Social Member if that company does business with or relates in some manner to the Health Care Field.  Social membership companies can have two (2) representatives at regular meetings.
Social members must be sponsored by three (3) regular members.  All social membership applicants shall be screened by the Executive Committee and recommended to regular members for approval at a scheduled monthly meeting.  These members would have no voting rights or would not be eligible to hold office, nor shall they have any title to or interest in the assets of the Association.  Social membership would be limited to fifteen (15) companies. Social members may serve on committees.
The Executive Committee can recommend that the regular membership take action to remove any social member from membership who no longer is engaged in a trade or occupation related to health care engineering or who ceases to be a benefit to the Association.
