Membership in the WFCA is granted in the name of the business applying, not specific individuals associated with the business, although each member business does list a primary contact person. In order to apply for membership, simply call our Membership Department at (800-624-6880 ext. 21). We offer several classifications of membership:
REGULAR MEMBER
"...contracting for the treatment of, installation of, or selling at retail of floor covering or related products..." Regular members are voting members of the WFCA. The WFCA offers Regular members a complete menu of association benefits. The annual membership investment for Regular members is $275.

AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS
A number of local and regional floor covering associations throughout the United States are affiliated with the WFCA. Where possible, the WFCA encourages businesses to become members by joining through their local affiliate floor covering association. The annual investment for "joint" membership in both associations varies by affiliate floor covering association, but is well worth investigating. Scan the list of current affiliate associations. If there is one near you, you may want to contact them directly about "joint" membership. You may also contact the WFCA Membership Department at 800-624-6880.
ASSOCIATE MEMBER
"...producing materials, selling materials, or providing services at wholesale, or otherwise supplying related products or services to the floor covering or related industries at wholesale..." Associate members are not voting members of the WFCA. However, Associate members are entitled to a discount for exhibit space at Surfaces®, and a portion of the Associate member's investment supports the WFCA's Educational Forums. There are three annual membership investment categories for Associate members:
- Manufacturer - Manufactures products of any kind for sale to, or within the floor covering industry. Annual investment $1,400.
- Supplier - Does not manufacture, nor distribute floor covering to floor covering retailers, or wholesalers, but sells, or provides related products, materials, or services to members of the floor covering, or related industries. Annual investment $675.
- Distributor - Does not manufacture, but distributes floor covering products to floor covering retailers and wholesalers. Annual investment $675.
