Welcome to CBIA

We work at the state Capitol on behalf of our 10,000 members, and they rely on our products, services and information to grow and compete in a global economy.
Prorating Schedule
CBIA dues are administered on a calendar-year basis and are prorated based on when your membership begins. The following should be used to calculate first-year membership dues:
1st quarter (Jan., Feb., March) — 100% of the dues listed in the schedule
2nd quarter (April, May, June) — 75%
3rd quarter (July, August Sept.) — 50%
4th quarter (Oct., Nov., Dec.) — 100% (This includes membership for the following year.)
Tax Deductibility
For federal income tax purposes, CBIA membership dues are deductible as business expenses, not as charitable contributions.
(Approximately 41% of dues is used by CBIA for lobbying activities. Because lobbying expenses are not deductible for federal tax purposes, this portion of your dues is not tax deductible.)
Associate Membership
Certain nonprofit organizations qualify for associate membership at a reduced rate. To learn more, call Joe Dias at 860-244-1118 or e-mail joe.dias@cbia.com.
