Institutional/Program Membership Benefits

An Institutional/Program membership allows up to ten individuals from an institution or a subset of an institution, such as a department or program, to join NADE as a group. An I/P membership cost $350 per year, a savings of $150 when compared to ten individual memberships.

Please take a moment to read the benefits of I/P membership below. If you'd like to set up one or more I/P memberships for your institution, you can find an I/P Main Membership Application form here.

Key features of I/P membership include:

• Up to ten individuals can hold NADE membership and have voting privileges, member rates for the annual conference, one free SPIN membership each, and access to all NADE member services. Have more than ten people to include in your NADE I/P membership? Purchase additional I/P memberships for each group of up to ten individuals.
• Welcome Packet. Each I/P group identifies its contact person who will receive NADE publications for the group and ensure that all members of the I/P have access to the publications. When a new I/P membership is created, the contact person will receive one NADE poster and will also receive a set of "new member materials" for each person in the group who was not previously a NADE member. This Welcome Packet has a value of over $30.
• Publications. Each contact person will be sent:
  • 10 paper copies of each NADE Newsletter if in print form, or electronic access to NADE Newsletters if published only electronically on the NADE website
  • 10 paper copies of the NADE Fact Sheet each year if in print form, or electronic access to NADE Fact Sheets if published only electronically on the NADE website
  • 2 copies of each issue of the Journal of Developmental Education (three issues per year; print dates are September 1, November 15, and January 25)
  • 2 copies of the NADE Digest if in print form, or electronic access to the NADE Digest if published only electronically on the NADE website
  • access to electronic versions of annual reports, resolutions, and directories published on the NADE website
• Conference Registration Fee Waiver. A special conference basic registration fee waiver , available upon request to NADE's President-elect prior to the conference, allows one up-line administrator per I/P membership to attend the NADE annual conference--a $210 value! The administrator must be at the Dean level or above and must have been be included as one of the up to ten members of the I/P membership. The individual must not have a direct, first-line responsibility for any developmental education program, but may be a supervisor over an administrator of a developmental education program. The fee waiver is transferable only to another upper-level administrator at the same institution who is covered by the I/P membership and who has a similar relationship to the developmental education program.
• Recognition. I/P groups may receive special recognition in the NADE Newsletter and are listed on the NADE website (www.nade.net).

• Camaraderie. All members of a department/program, whether faculty, staff, or student assistants, can belong to the same professional organization.
• Inclusion. Don't forget to include adjuncts and part-time faculty and staff members in your group of up to ten individuals per I/P membership. Include graduate assistants, tutors, and other student employees as well to help them begin their professional experience.
• Public Relations. Add up-line administrators as members to help keep them informed of the latest practices. Send an up-line administrator to the NADE conference. Have your institution be recognized by NADE as a supporter of developmental education.
• Savings Benefit. The I/P approach saves 30% over ten individual memberships. Also, many institutions pay all or part of the costs for institutional memberships.
