Affinity programs “took off” several years ago as associations sought to provide added value to their membership. AGC of Michigan and AGC of America have been careful in selecting programs that provide real value to AGC members. We will only work with reputable and established partners and there must be a realized price advantage for the membership as a result of the program. Everyone has affinity programs, but the quality of the programs can differ substantially. It’s the bottom-line savings to the membership through the program that matters.
