Type of membership desired

For companies, ILDA has three levels of Corporate membership. Your level depends on how much you made last year, in lasershow-related sales.

You must select one of the following six choices:

CORPORATE LEVEL 1
Lasershow-related gross income (billings) of over USD $1,000,000 last year.
ILDA dues: $1,000 per year. Receives 4 ILDA votes, and is listed 1st in our Member directories.

  I agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country, state/province, and localities in which I operate and/or manufacture laser displays or public demonstrations.
 
  I agree to abide by the terms of ILDA's Bylaws, including the Code of Ethics and the Code of Business Practice. (This means that the ILDA Ethics Committee can work to resolve any disputes or ethics complaints.)
