Membership

Member pricing for conference registration and other conference events is available only to members in good standing whose current membership expires on or after June 30, 2019. The last date to transfer NAFSA membership from one person to another within an institution is February 24, 2019. After that date, membership may be transferred in the new dues year, beginning July 1, 2019. The only exception is for staff members who leave the institution of record; such cases will be handled on a case-by-case basis by NAFSA's Communications and Advancement Department.

NAFSA members will save $300 when registering for the full conference. Become a member when you register for the conference and take advantage of member pricing. Visit www.nafsa.org/membership for a list of all of the benefits of NAFSA membership.
