I was a Gold/Silver TA last year. Will I be considered Gold/Silver again this year?

Trade allies earn a status on the previous year’s performance and will remain that status the entire year.  
  • Trade Allies status is updated annually following evaluation of previous year’s performance and contribution are determined.
  • Trade Allies must achieve the required project count or savings to reach previous status again.
  • If a Trade Ally does not continue to meet the minimum requirements, the status will not continue to carry over.
