NEW NSA
Membership Model

June 6, 2023 Update

NSA Chair Mike Staver, CSP, CPAE, and NSA CEO/President Jaime Nolan are bringing members a special announcement concerning upcoming changes to the NSA membership model and what that looks like for the future of our association. Transcript

Beginning on August 1, 2023, NSA will transition to a single-membership model, simply be called “Member” and confusion over the various levels will be eliminated. Here's what the new single membership model means for you:

  • Enhanced Value: The single membership model will provide all members with access to the highest level of benefits and resources offered by NSA.
  • Unified Community: Transitioning to a single membership option will foster a greater sense of unity and cohesion within our community, enabling all members to connect and engage on an equal footing.
  • Expanded Resources: With a single membership option, resources will be allocated more effectively, ensuring that all members have access to an expanded range of valuable resources.
  • Streamlined Experience: Consolidating our membership structure will create a more streamlined and cohesive experience for all members, eliminating confusion and potential disparities between different membership levels.
  • Simplified Administration: Having a single membership option will simplify administrative processes, allowing us to deliver exceptional service to our members and focus on continuously improving the quality and relevance of the benefits we provide.

What Happens on August 1?

Starting August 1, both Essential Members and Advanced Members will be merged into one group, simply titled "Members," and will receive the benefits of Advanced Membership, which includes the NSA Digital Vault and additional programming available to members beginning later this year. Legacy and International Memberships will still be available for members who meet the criteria, which you can read about in the FAQ section of this web page.

All Essential Members will have their membership enhanced on August 1 to receive the same benefits that Advanced Members currently receive. The cost of member dues will be $950 at your next renewal date. You will not need to change anything on August 1 and your membership will continue uninterrupted with the new benefits available to you. You do need to take any action for this, unless you do not wish to renew your NSA membership.
