DOES A UMMA MEMBER HAVE TO PURCHASE UMSA PRODUCTS AND PROGRAMS?
Not necessarily. However, one of the key considerations in evaluating a company for Membership is the commitment by the builder principals to support the collective UMMA efforts. This “top down” approach when coupled with enhanced purchasing power and a profit re-distribution formula which penalizes non-participation can, in conjunction with supplier support, overcome most arbitrary preference decisions at the purchasing level.
