Join the Michigan Chemistry Council
The chemical industry is one of Michigan's largest manufacturing sectors, and the Michigan Chemistry Council is the single, unified voice of the industry in our state. We represent dozens of chemical manufacturers, formulators, and distributors across the state, and advocate exclusively on behalf of our members.
We strive to provide unparalleled value through an active advocacy and communications presence in Lansing and through frequent updates to our members. By serving as a liaison for our industry to in-state peers, national associations, and like-minded industry groups, we amplify the voice of our members.
Membership Details
There are three different types of membership.
- Regular members are Michigan companies engaged in the manufacture, formulation, or distribution of chemicals, or that use chemicals in their manufacturing processes. Regular membership dues are based on the number of employees in the state.
- Associate members are companies engaged in a supportive business serving the chemical industry in Michigan, such as consulting, engineering, testing, or providing environmental services. Associate members may also include a like-minded business or trade association. Associate membership dues are based on a flat fee basis.
- Honorary members are higher education entities involved in educating individuals in the field of chemistry, or other nonprofit organizations engaged in a cooperative relationship with the chemical industry in Michigan. Honorary members do not pay dues.
