For Original Equipment Manufacturers/Distributors, Aftermarket, Allied Trades and Investment Analysts:
The MIC has two classes of membership: Voting members and non-voting members. Non-voting members receive all member benefits, except they may not serve on the Board of Directors or vote on corporation business, such as the Board of Directors election. Membership applications are reviewed by the MIC Board of Directors at its next meeting or possibly sooner.

The criteria for voting membership are:

1. Be an individual, firm or corporation regularly engaged in the U.S. motorcycle/ATV industry by manufacturing, importing, or wholesale distribution of motorcycles or motorcycle / ATV parts or accessories, or operating in an allied trade (e.g., insurance, finance, publishing, advertising, consulting);

2. Have been in the U.S. motorcycle / ATV business for at least two years; and

3. Maintain a history of good business ethics and a current or future financial interest in the motorcycle industry.

Applicants may be approved as non-voting members if:

a. The Applicant is not regularly engaged in the industry, but otherwise meets requirement 1 above.

b. Requirement 2 is not met and is not waived by the Board.

c. Requirements 1-2 are met, but the applicant elects non-voting status to help streamline the election process.

The Board of Directors shall review a non-voting member's eligibility for voting membership after all criteria are met.

Dues

The amount of annual dues for each member shall be determined by the most current annual gross sales of products and/or services related to the motorcycle industry.

Prospective members wishing to join the association subsequent to January 31 may prorate their dues monthly, however applications received during the last three months of the year must include payment of one half of their annual dues for the following year. The association shall reveal no information concerning a member's dues payments. Complete the Application or contact MIC for more information.


The Motorcycle Industry Council is a not-for-profit national industry association with offices in Irvine, California, and Washington, D.C. The MIC seeks to support motorcyclists by representing manufacturers, distributors, dealers and retailers of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, ROVs, motorcycle/ATV/ROV parts, accessories and related goods and services, and members of allied trades such as insurance, finance and others with a commercial interest in the industry. The MIC name originated in 1970, but the association has existed under other names since 1914.
