In addition, if you are an ecobuilding professional:

Other benefits come with various levels of membership:
Student - $25 - all basic benefits from above. This level is a discounted level for students enrolled in higher education only. This discount is to provide students affordable access to the valuable information that the Guild provides. If you are not a student, and do not wish to join at one of the professional levels, please register at the Homeowner - Friend level.
Homeowner - Friend - $45, $75, $100 or $200 - all basic benefits from above.
Basic Professional - $80 - everything included in Homeowner - Friend plus a listing in the Green Pages, both online and in print.
Small Business (under 10 employees) - $215 - everything included in Basic Professional plus
- a 75-word description for a primary category and two cross-reference categories in the printed Green Pages
- for the online Green pages, everything included in the printed version plus a hot-link to your web address and/or email address
- two Linked memberships (same privileges as Basic Non-Professional) for co-workers in the business.
- for the online Green pages, two additional 75-word descriptions to go with the two cross-reference categories

Note: A "Linked membership" is a special type of membership that comes as one of the benefits of the higher levels of business memberships. The person who signs up for the high-level business membership is considered the primary member, and it is the primary member who is listed in the Green Pages. The primary member also chooses who will be the Linked members, although Linked members must be co-workers in the same firm (not sub-contractors, friends, etc.). Linked members have all of the privileges and benefits that Homeowner - Supporter members have and are able to participate fully in the activities of the Guild.
