NARIGC has instituted a new Dues Installment Payment Program for all new members and membership renewals.  The first payment, due on your renewal or join date, is $200 and will then be broken down to 11 remaining monthly payments on your credit card.  The installment agreement will be located on the back of the invoice and statement that is mailed to you.  Simply complete the form with your credit card number and return it to the office, and NARIGC will automatically debit the initial payment and subsequent monthly installments from your Credit Card.
Recruit a Member -
Get $25 off Your Dues!

     The most important tool for a remodeling business CANNOT be purchased in a store and we need your help in our 2013 membership  drive.  Our goal is for each NARIGC member to recruit one additional company/individual to join NARIGC. 

     As a way for us to say thank you, for each new member (up to a total of four) you recruit to join NARIGC in 2013, we will credit $25 (up to $100) toward your 2014 membership dues.   

     The applicant cannot have held NARIGC membership for the last two years, and must indicate your name/company name on the application's "Sponsor" line.

     Thank you for your help in introducing new companies/individuals to the benefits of NARIGC membership.
