Who Can Join?

GBA offers membership to all who have an interest in and affiliation with the geoprofessions. It does so through two main categories of GBA membership:

Member Firm:

The Member Firm category of GBA membership is restricted to consulting firms in the geoprofessions, including one-person firms, who are dedicated to excellence in their professional practice. Geoprofessional firms provide geotechnical, geologic, environmental, construction materials engineering and testing, and related professional services.

Affiliated Practitioner:

GBA has five GBA membership categories available for affiliated practitioners – firms and individuals who provide the services and information GBA Member Firms need to enhance their own businesses:

  • professional colleagues at constructor firms
  • geoprofessional practitioners within other types of firms, government agencies and professional societies
  • institutional faculty
  • consultants to GBA Member Firms, and
  • life members.
