Membership Dues
All NAO memberships start on the day a member signs up and continues for a one-year term, for example, if a member signs up on October 14, 2021 the term would expire on October 13, 2022. NAO sends out a membership renewal notice near the end of the term to keep your organization in NAO's statewide member network and keep those member benefits coming!
