Corporate Membership Packages
Corporate Membership is comprised of two elements: the first is a menu of corporate services/benefits that you will receive with the Connector Package, which is the foundation of Corporate Membership. The second allows Corporate Members to build on the Connector Package by purchasing additional benefits to suit the level of engagement that your organization requires.
Connector Package
This basic package is designed to provide Indigenous and Non-Indigenous organizations, and Indigenous communities, with the opportunity to increase their engagement and participation in AFOA Canada. It facilitates Business-to-Business (B-2-B) opportunities by providing Indigenous communities and organizations an increased ability to engage with other Corporate Members and by providing Non-Indigenous organizations the increased ability to engage with Indigenous Corporate Members.
Three-Year Memberships
In place of the standard year-to-year commitment, members may choose to commit to a three-year membership that ensures their fees are not subject to increases for that period. Applicable to renewals as well as new members.
