NCIL News & Happenings: December 28, 2023

This Year, Give the Gift of NCIL Membership to Your Staff… AND Board!

We’re pleased to announce expanded benefits for current and new NCIL members.

Starting this winter, NCIL has opened up our organizational associate membership level for ALL staff and board of member organizations.

What does this mean?

When you sign your organization up as a NCIL member, each staff and board member of your organization will receive a free associate level NCIL membership. This includes access to member communications, NCIL’s Member Center, input on NCIL priorities, ability to join NCIL committees, and discounts on conferences and trainings!

How do I take advantage of these benefits?

New Organizational Member: Registration for organizations that have never been a member: (https://bit.ly/3RqbjTd)

Organizational Associate Member: Use the individual membership form (https://bit.ly/47ELJzl) and select your member organization when prompted.

NCIL still offers individual membership for only $35.00 per year. Purchase or renew your individual membership at https://bit.ly/47ELJzl.
