locations not considered the primary location
Explanation:
A member which operates multiple offices may list one location in the directory as its primary location and the remaining locations as satellite office listings. In order to qualify as a satellite location, the location must be directly owned and operated by the member company. Subsidiary operations, franchise affiliates or sister entities do not qualify as satellite locations. Satellite office listings are defined as branch offices of the same corporation already having a paid Builder, Associate, Affiliate or Professional membership in the Association. Satellite office listings must have the same name as the original company, and must have the same company description in the membership directory.
