Some important points to remember:
- After 2003, if you do not fit into one of the categories above, you can
participate in most of NSA's programs at non-member rates, but can not be,
or present yourself as a member of NSA.
- Joining a Chapter does not make you a member of the National Speakers
Association--you must apply and join NSA separately.
You only have to submit qualification documents and forms once. Once you have
been accepted as a professional member, you only need to meet the qualifications
and renew your dues each year.
