ProSource Gives Dealers Q1 Dues Abatement, Citing Cost Management, Growth

ProSource announced a member dues abatement for Q1 for all members on record as of Sept. 30. The unanimous decision voted by the ProSource board was made possible by “effective cost management” over the past year and “continued net membership growth,” it said Tuesday. The member-owned organization’s goal is to provide maximum investment return on program benefits and “lowest possible cost of membership” to dealers, said CEO Dave Workman. Dues vary based on dealer size, but most dealers pay $3,580 a year for membership, or $895 per quarter, Workman emailed us. The abatement is the buying group’s first, he said. ProSource added approximately 50 dealer members in 2016, bringing the total to over 500.
