2026 Scheduled Contribution Rate Increase

Hourly rate increases will enable SMACNA to continue delivering the high quality education ,resources and industry technical standards that members have come to expect.

Beginning on January 1, 2026, and every three years thereafter, a one-cent ($0.01) per hour increase to the SMACNA standard contribution rate for U.S and Canadian members will go into effect.

This change, adopted in 2023, has been communicated to Chapter Executives through multiple channels, including an email sent on March 14, 2023, collective bargaining orientation, Council of Chapter Representatives meetings, and various other SMACNA events and publications.

This action will help support long-term planning and sustained investment in the industry’s future.
