Membership

Membership in the Texas Black Expo

Individuals can become members of the Texas Black Expo through participation in one of several membership levels. Members throughout the state of Texas assist the Texas Black Expo in carrying out its mission and organizational initiatives that are designed to nurture businesses, mentor youth, and build strong communities. Membership is open to residents of the state of Texas and to those out of state who desire to participate in Texas Black Expo activities.

Chapters throughout the state of Texas are comprised of individual members who pay an annual fee for membership in the Texas Black Expo. The minimum membership level required to actively participate in an affiliate chapter is the Standard Membership. These annual membership fees are paid through the respective Texas affiliate chapter. Individuals who are not part of an affiliate chapter may make their dues payments directly to the state headquarters in Houston, Texas.

Memberships are valid in the year they are purchased and are non-transferable.
