Associate Application
Note: NCMA maintains a ratio of 8 associate members to every 1 operator member. Sometimes the membership becomes filled for the associate category. When that happens, a completed application is required for an applicant to be placed on the Wait List for Membership, and the applicant is notified that the application is placed on the wait list and any membership dues is returned.
Wait listed applicants are notified in the first week of October of membership vacancies due to nonrenewal by current members. It is important that a wait listed applicant respond quickly to the invoice received during the first week of October. Vacancies are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Membership dues checks will be accepted as long as vacancies last. Any check received after vacancies are filled will be returned and the applicant will be asked if they wish to remain on the wait list for the next membership year.
Currently, NCMA does not have a wait list.

Association members benefit from the exchange of ideas among professionals engaged in the same business. One of the prime functions of the Association is to educate and inform its membership with regard to related developments both within the industry and in political and economic matters which may have an impact on motorcoach carriers. Affiliation with this professional organization provides operator members and associate members immediate access to information often vital to efficient operation and keeps an open line of communication with local, state and federal governmental and regulatory agencies whose decisions affect the motorcoach industry.
NCMA represents the industry in legislative, safety and public service matters. NCMA fosters a cooperative effort by all motorcoach companies in the state to deliver the best possible service at the lowest possible price to all North Carolina citizens. NCMA promotes a positive image of the motorcoach industry in such a manner so as to not promote any individual member, but to create the best possible public relations for all members.
Members of NCMA have the opportunity through periodic meetings throughout the year and at the annual meeting to share the latest information on such things as maintenance technology, marketing ideas, government regulatory changes, safety, insurance, record keeping procedures, etc. Members have the opportunity to meet one-on-one to better understand different aspects of the industry from operations to service and supplies which impact the effectiveness and efficiency of the industry.
Individuals alone usually can have little influence on the decisions made by governing bodies. As a member of NCMA your voice will be heard with many putting you in a better position to impact and influence decision makers. Your involvement will help strengthen NCMA to make a difference in the future of the motorcoach industry and help your company through the positive influence NCMA can make on the industry.
NCMA encourages its members to provide assistance to each other and utilize the services of Associate Members. Everyone needs help from time to time whether it is a coach, a driver, a mechanic, a repair part, road service or just a good friend to share an idea with or to give advice.
