If you are a fine chocolate professional and are committed to advancing the industry, then FCIA is the organization for you.

Effective April 1, 2018, FCIA is implementing a new membership dues structure. The new structure is tied to additional resources that are needed for new programs, improved communications and professionalization. Renewals and new members will transition to one of the two new main membership types.

FCIA Associate Members: This membership type will now include individual professionals and start-up companies. The annual dues are $200.

FCIA Corporate Members: This membership type will now include five categories, based on the company's gross revenue. The corresponding membership dues will range from $500 - $15,000+ per year. Membership level designations below are for internal purposes. All members at these levels will be designated Corporate Members.

Level 1 = $500 (revenue $50k - $250k)
Level 2 = $1,500 (revenue $250k - $1m)
Level 3 = $3,000 - $5,000 (revenue $1m - $3m)
Level 4 = $5,000 - $10,000 (revenue $3m - $10m)
Level 5 = $15,000+ (revenue over $10m)

Please take a look at the New Membership Structure and Sponsorship Benefits for an overview outlining of the benefits included with each new membership type.
