Qualifications / Requirements & Procedures
1. Applicant must submit a complete Membership Application, a copy of their Brevard County Business Tax Receipt (BCBTR). If the Applicant does not have a BCBTR then they must provide a copy of their City Tax Receipt in the interim and a $25 Application Fee. The Applicant must then acquire a BCBTR from the County and present that before they can be voted in. Once all items have been completed, if the category is currently full, applicants can be placed on a waitlist for category opening.
2. Once the above items have been received, the Applicant must present themselves in person, at a regular general business meeting. Applicants will introduce themselves and their business to the membership at the meeting.
3. Applicants must have a valid Florida Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax in either his or her personal or business name, if such a certificate is required in the State of Florida.
4. Applicants must have and maintain any licenses required by the State of Florida, Brevard County, or any Municipality.
5. Applicants must have and maintain a place of business in Brevard County.
6. Applicants must sell a product or service directly to brides.
7. Applicants must have a valid Brevard County Business Tax Receipt (24) consecutive months prior to the application date. If the applicant does not have this at the time the application was submitted, but has submitted their City Tax Receipt with their application, they will have two weeks from the date of the BWA General Meeting they attend to submit the BCBTR. This can be acquired from the Brevard County Tax Collector in Titusville. This License must be maintained to retain membership in the BWA.
8. Applicants may join and/or represent their business under one (1) business classification per membership. IE: if you are a florist and rent tuxedos and want to display both products/services at our shows, on the BWA website or other official documents or displays you would require two memberships. Note, that the second membership is half off.
9. Applicants must be sponsored by an active member of the BWA.
10. Applicant’s name/company will be sent to all active members via the newsletter and/or via email at least two weeks prior to the next scheduled general meeting.
11. At the following BWA General Meeting, after the one the applicant attended, the applicant will be voted on. If approved by a majority vote of the members, after a quorum is present, the applicant shall be considered approved for membership and will be granted full privileges when their dues are paid.
12. Active members must attend at least 6 general meetings per year as well as attend all bridal shows during the year.
