There’s never been a better time to join WPMCA!  As an Association we’re stronger than ever.  Our members are comprised of more than 500 independent businesses; we employ more than 20,000 people, operate more than 2,000 stations and stores and account for more than one-half the entire volume of motor fuel and nearly all the home heating oil sold in Wisconsin. 

At the same time, we need our members now more than ever.  We just survived one of the most difficult legislative sessions of our history. Our major victories include defeating a proposed oil company tax (a 3% tax on all fuel sold in Wisconsin that petroleum marketers would have been prohibited from passing on to consumers) and bringing Wisconsin’s Unfair Sales Act before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. We had numerous other small victories which add up to big protection of your bottom line.

Membership has tons of benefits.  Besides advocacy, we’re the best source of industry news and education.  Members receive weekly email Updates as well as our monthly Informer.  Last but not least, the WPMCA’s Annual Convention and Industry Tradeshow is the best place to meet new and favorite vendors. Your greatest deals of the year can be made on our tradeshow floor.

Our Regular Members are comprised of those in the day-to-day petroleum and c-store business.  A Regular Member Application can be downloaded right now.  We’re currently running a special introductory rate: If you are a new member with one or two stores, you can join for just $250 and receive one free tradeshow pass along with your calendar year membership.  Want to know more about our Regular Member Benefits?  See the whole list.  You’ll also want to learn about our endorsed services and how membership can bring you even greater deals.

Our Associate Members are our important partners.  Quite simply, our members and our association wouldn’t be in business without you.  Therefore, we strive to give our Associate Members excellent service and excellent access.  This ranges from sponsorship opportunities at our various events, to discounted member rates at our convention, to a special class of premier partners known as our Badger Club.  You can download an Associate Member application.  You can learn about advertising opportunities (on our website, in our publications, or at our events) here.  You’ll definitely want to know about your discounted rates for exhibiting at our tradeshow. And, you’ll be able to learn more about the Badger Club.
