Annual Membership Registration and Subscription Fees

To ensure the long-term sustainability and effective delivery of high-quality programmes and services, the Council adopts a fair and equitable membership fee structure based on the annual gross revenue of CEOs and corporate members.

Annual Membership Subscription Is Tide To Annual Gross Revenue As Follows:

• Up to US$1 Million: US$500
• US$1 Million – US$10 Million: US$2,500
• US$10 Million – US$25 Million: US$5,000

the right to review membership fees periodically to reflect changing operational requirements, expanded member services, and strategic priorities.

Multi-Year Membership

To provide greater convenience and encourage long-term engagement, organizations may elect to pay their membership subscriptions for multiple years in advance.

Multi-year subscriptions are calculated by multiplying the applicable annual subscription by the number of years selected.
