Why You Should Be a Supporting Member of CEAO
One of CEAO’s greatest priorities is to encourage communication between County Engineers and related industries. We believe that these relationships stimulate positive dialogue and mutual benefits for all parties. The Supporting Membership program was designed to reach out to individuals, firms, and corporations with an interest in local, county, and state transportation systems.
Supporting Members receive many exclusive benefits including advertising opportunities, access to publications, and exhibit discounts, which increase exposure to Ohio’s County Engineers. All of these benefits can be yours for a membership fee of $450, due at the time of application, and then annually in January thereafter.
Benefits
Exposure to Ohio’s County Engineers and key staff members through the following:
Conferences and Trade Shows
CEAO hosts an average of eight conferences per year. Supporting Members will be notified of upcoming events via email. For many of our events, we are able to offer Supporting Members a discounted exhibitor registration fee. New in 2025, join us for a Mix & Mingle event exclusively for our supporting members at the County Engineers Conference in February.
Website Advertising Opportunities
Supporting Members have the exclusive opportunity to upgrade as a website sponsor, allowing them to advertise on CEAO’s website, which is an essential resource for County Engineers and a great way to reach your target audience.
Find a Supporting Member
This valuable tool allows County Engineers, their staff, and other visitors to CEAO.org to search for our Supporting Members by name, location, and products and services offered.
CEAO Roster and Other Publications
CEAO publishes a Membership Roster of all Ohio County Engineers including their contact information and staff listings. It also includes a legislative directory, district maps, and a comprehensive listing of CEAO Supporting Members. This invaluable publication allows only our supporting members to purchase an advertisement. Supporting members also receive a copy of the Roster as well. The 2024 Roster Advertisement window has closed. Please consider purchasing an advertisement for the 2025 edition. To place a Roster Advertisement with CEAO, please contact Kari at 614-221-0707 or karig@ceao.org.
All of these benefits can be yours for the annual membership fee of $450.00. CEAO Events and Trade Show Sponsorships as well as discounts for some conference events will be made available to CEAO Supporting Members. Information will be emailed to Supporting Members at the time of event registration.
