Hello Herzog,
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for getting involved in PMMI. We appreciate hearing from you.
The Supplier Membership category was designed to help our members connect with their global suppliers. This membership type serves a different purpose in our organization than a General Membership, by supporting General Member operations. For that reason, it is not a requirement that Supplier or Materials members be headquartered in the United States or Canada.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns.
