Yes.  Associations North continually evaluates membership offerings to meet the changing needs of our members. You and your team will gain immediate access to professional development, information and resources. We are excited about growing the pool of members which will add diversity of thought, deeper insights, shared learning and expanded networks.

With your organizational membership, each staff member will receive login information to access member benefits, customize their profile, see past event attendance, print CEU credit hours, select Meetup Groups to participate in and register for education and events. Associations North is happy to connect with you and your staff at any point to share ways to get involved, volunteer and learn how to maximize your membership. Contact us to schedule a phone call or member visit.
