Business Membership

Click Here to join SSA

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS of Alabama(SSA) extends a warm invitation to businesses interested in establishing partnerships with Alabama's school superintendents to become Business Members at one of the four distinct levels: Blue, Gold, Premium, or Diamond. Membership commences on June 1 and concludes May 31 of each year, with no prorated memberships available. To ensure continued membership, all payments must be received by May 31st annually.

To fully optimize the benefits of any SSA event, it is crucial to engage with system members during breakfast, lunch, breaks, or in between sessions. While we strive to provide opportunities for interaction, please be aware that Superintendents visiting the vendor space is not guaranteed. Our conferences are not platforms for product sales; rather, they offer unique opportunities to establish meaningful connections with our members. These connections can play a pivotal role in gaining access to district decision-makers. We strategically position vendors in areas that are frequented by  Superintendents on their way to meetings or meal spaces. Additionally, we provide tables within the vendor area, allowing both attendees and business partners to dine together and foster valuable networking opportunities.
