PDCA offers different membership opportunities based on your company's role in the industry.

Contractor Membership

Any individual, partnership, or corporation (contracting company) engaged in the coating application industry in the United States or in Canada qualifies for Active Membership in PDCA. International Membership is also available for those contractors outside of the United States or Canada.

A Contractor engaged in the coating application industry is eligible for Active Membership upon completion of a membership application and by paying PDCA one (1) full year’s dues in advance, or by agreeing to a dues time payment commitment.

All Active Members must be licensed, registered, and insured in compliance with the laws and regulations of the areas where they do business.  They must also agree to abide by the PDCA Code of Ethics.

Contractors who hold membership in a PDCA Council or Chapter and Members at Large
must also be Active or International Members of PDCA.
