At SIMA, our focus has always been simple: your success is our core mission. From our new member search directory, free and affordable training courses, virtual interest groups, advocacy efforts, and an annual training credit increasing to $250 for 2026, we are committed to delivering value that far outweighs the cost of membership.

We’re excited to announce a new Business Essentials course will launch later this year that will be included with membership. Built specifically for snow and ice professionals, this practical program will cover the foundational elements of running a successful operation including financial management, human resources, risk and liability, estimating, sales, and customer service.

To keep providing you with high-caliber resources, we have to evolve alongside the industry. Over the last four years, the costs of the technology and professional expertise that power our association have risen significantly.

To ensure SIMA stays financially strong and ready to serve you for years to come, the Board of Directors approved a modest dues adjustment for 2026. This is our first adjustment since 2022, and we have worked hard to keep our dues below industry averages while expanding member benefits.

This isn't just a budget update; it’s an investment in the future of the snow and ice community. We don’t take your investment lightly, and we are excited to continue building a more professional, profitable industry alongside you.
