To maximize your membership value, volunteering is the quickest way to get connected. Our diverse network of experts are a wise group and willing to share, but you first need to get to know them.

Setting up the backdrop

The more invest in NSA, the more you get in returns. You can wade in toe by toe or just jump in an make it happen. Talk to our members such as Linda Keith, Jan Dwyer, Brian Walter and Max Dixon. These folks are highly involved with NSA at the local and national level. Ask them why they continue to do it.

We will do as much as we can to help you, but we in return need help to make all these plans flourish. We are all volunteering including all board members.

If each person can help a 30 minutes to an hour once a week, or month or even on site this will help bring you more value. For instance, commonly in a week there is 70 hours of work, so with individuals helping out we can reduce a few hours off the presidents load. We have a lot in store for you, but are bit bogged down creating Standard Operating Procedures. When you pitch in you will be shocked to see what we have planned for you.
