Associate membership is for companies that do not want voting representation but want to help AMBA meet its mission, vision, and objectives, with some membership benefits. Associate member company personnel receive member only email communications on AMBA and barley, including barley planting, production, variety, and stock reports. They also have access to the member only section of the AMBA web site, which has information on malting barley varieties, research, production, and other items. Associate members are welcome to attend AMBA Board and Technical Committee meetings as nonvoting members.

Malting, distilling, and food companies pay the same dues rate as Regular members in their category, with minimum dues of $525.
Brewing companies pay dues of $3.33 per thousand barrels of beer shipped the previous calendar year, or minimum dues of $525.
