Commercial Members

Apereo Commercial Affiliates are corporations, small businesses, and companies that demonstrate support for the Apereo Foundation and its constituent software communities by becoming paying members. 

The process of becoming an Apereo Commercial Affiliate is straightforward.

An applicant produces a short statement of 2 or 3 paragraphs about their company and why they believe synergy exists between the company and Apereo. This information is sent to Apereo's Executive director via email, ed@apereo.org

The Apereo Board of Directors evaluates the application and then votes on membership. If the application is approved, the company pays membership dues. All commercial affiliate membership levels secure a listing on our website and e-mailings of every inquiry to our website regarding software, services, RFPs, etc. Platinum membership secures an above-the-fold mention on the apereo.org home page. 

Commercial Affiliate Members have one organizational board seat vote in foundation elections.
