How to get listed with your industry's trade association member directory

Please get my business listed on Your industry's trade association member directory.

First, find the right one. Search: "[your industry or product category] trade association" OR "[your industry] association members directory". Open the association's Membership page and look for a Member Directory, Find a Member or Buyers Guide listing. Prefer associations whose directory lists a website link for each member.
Pick the best match for my business, then submit there.

My business:
- Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
- Website: {{BUSINESS_URL}}
- One-line pitch: {{ONE_LINE_PITCH}}
- Longer description: {{DESCRIPTION}}
- Category: {{CATEGORY}}
- Contact email: {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}
- City: {{CITY}}

Steps:
1. Find the association for your category and open its membership page.
2. Check the member categories and dues and confirm you qualify.
3. Submit the membership application.
4. Log in to the member portal once approved and complete your directory profile, including your website.

Watch out for:
- Dues are paid yearly and can be large, so weigh the cost against the one backlink.
- Some associations add members only after a committee vote, and some only list paying tiers in the public directory.
- Several of these directories sit in a member portal on a different domain, which is worth checking before you join.

Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

When you're done, tell me:
- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
- anything I still need to do, like confirming an email
