How Members Make a Difference
AMWA's mission is to promote the development and adoption of open, accessible standards and specifications relating to file-based workflows (including AAF, MXF and other formats), Service Oriented Architectures, and Application Specifications; to promote such Specifications worldwide, and to create high customer awareness of, demand for, and confidence in products designed in compliance with these specifications. We will focus on content creation, production, post-production, rich media authoring, archiving and distribution. We will maintain relations with, and work with standards developed by, other standard setting organizations and industry consortia to ensure coherence among the Specifications maintained by the Corporation and standards maintained by such other organizations.

Explanation of AMWA Membership Benefits
Principal Member Benefits
Principal members guide the organization. They are the only class of members who are eligible to serve on the AMWA Board of Directors. It is the AMWA board which sets the direction of the Association, determines the budget, and which ultimately directs the resources of the Association. Principal members may propose new work for the organization, or changes to existing work without requiring the support of another member. They may appoint voting members to committees, and they may have as many meeting attendees as they desire. Principal members may propose work items for the AMWA technical developer, a programming resource directly employed by the AMWA. The AMWA will post their logos on the AMWA Web site, which may include links from the AMWA Web site to specific pages on their company Web sites. The AMWA holds two one-day training sessions annually, and the cost of attending these sessions is included in the dues for Principal membership. Dues for Principal membership are $12,500 annually for the first year and $10,000 annually for subsequent years.
General Member Benefits
General members form the core of the organization. General members may propose new work for the organization, or changes to existing work without requiring the support of another member. They may appoint a voting member to committees. General members may propose work items for the AMWA technical developer, a programming resource
directly employed by the AMWA. The AMWA will post their logos on the AMWA Web site, which may have links from the AMWA Web site to specific pages on their company Web sites. The AMWA holds two one-day training sessions annually, and the cost of attending these sessions is included in this level of membership. Dues for General membership are $5,000 annually.
