Why join a contract cleaning trade association?
No matter the size of your business, it never hurts to talk with others in your line of work. In addition to participating in online forums like Cleanitup, joining official trade and professional associations is a great way to do just that. Whether it's for local regional meetings or an annual  conference or trade show, the possibilities are nearly limitless in terms of levels of participation and benefits.

The benefits of joining a trade association include:
  • Networking – attending meetings and trade event allows ample chances to meet others in your line of work.
  • Continuing education - training courses, conferences, publications, and presentations offered by associations.
  • Leadership opportunities - boards, committees, or research groups within an association.
  • Professional discounts – on goods and services offered by affiliates or programs presented by the association.
  • Credibility - by showing you are a member of, and actively support, an industry association.
