Property Manager Involvement Models for Participation
1. Property manager pays one membership fee that covers all tenant memberships
2. Property manager pays a portion (e.g. 50%) of every tenant’s membership fee and members join individually
3. Property manager is a member through a board of trade or chamber of commerce and does not pay fee
