What you get and what the cooperative asks of you in return, all on one page before you fill out anything. Dues are shared during intake.
That means every tier comes with responsibilities as well as benefits, so both are listed below.
| Governing Members | Service Members | Approved Providers | Capital & Support Participants | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Owners who want to help shape TWBB, not just use it. The ownership core. | Tradespeople and construction businesses who want the operational benefits and to stay focused on the work. | Accountants, attorneys, insurance providers, and consultants who want a steady referral flow from member firms. | Funders, grantors, sponsors, and allies backing the mission without operational involvement. |
| What you get | Full access to all six shared services, full voting rights, a seat in governance, and patronage participation. | Full access to all six shared services and cooperative pricing on procurement, without governance duties. | Structured referral access to member firms, listing in the provider directory, and a defined scope of work. | Reporting on how capital is deployed, recognition, and standing invitations to cooperative events. |
| What you owe | Dues, fiduciary responsibility, attendance at governance meetings, and a vote you are expected to use. | Dues and good standing. Use the services, pay on time, and represent the cooperative honestly on job sites. | Vetting, credential verification, and agreed service standards. | Whatever is agreed in the funding or sponsorship terms, with no operational or governance control. |
| Voting rights | Yes, full | No | No | No |
Every applicant is reviewed, and licensing, insurance, and standing are verified before a membership is approved, because every member represents every other member on a job site.
Governing Members vote and attend governance meetings, while Service Members are expected to use the services and stay in good standing, nothing more.
Membership is not a trap, and the terms for withdrawal, notice period, and any patronage balance are set out in the membership agreement.
The form takes about three minutes and a TWBB member calls you within five business days. No obligation, and if TWBB is not the right fit for your business we will say so.
