Which tier should I choose?
+
−
If you are a salaried professional or solo practitioner, choose INDIVIDUALE. If you own or operate a business — small, mid-size, or otherwise — choose Biznes. If you represent a corporation, bank, law firm, or larger organization that wants premium positioning and team roster access, choose Korporatë. You can also reach out to our membership team and we'll help you decide.
Is membership open to people who aren't Albanian?
+
−
Yes. Membership is open to entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners, and corporate partners who share our mission. Albanian heritage is not required — allies, partners, and supporters of Albanian-American business are welcomed at every tier.
How does the approval process work?
+
−
Every application is reviewed by our membership team — approvals are not automatic. For business applicants, we verify business legitimacy. For Individual & Professional applicants, we confirm your name and contact information. Most approvals are completed within 24 hours.
Are membership dues tax-deductible?
+
−
AACC is a 501(c)(6) trade association in formation. Membership dues are generally deductible as a business expense, not as a charitable contribution. Consult your tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
Can I upgrade or downgrade tiers later?
+
−
Yes. Members may upgrade at any time and the difference will be prorated against your renewal date. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next renewal cycle.
Is the membership year a calendar year?
+
−
Memberships are annual from your join date — not a calendar year. You'll receive a renewal reminder 30 days before your anniversary date.
