Membership Eligibility
Membership Costs
PNACAC Membership runs from July 1 - June 30.
Membership fees are not prorated; any payments made for the current membership year apply from the time they are made until the end of that cycle.
-
If your organization was a PNACAC member for the 2022 - 2023 membership year, your organization's Key Contact (primary individual who manages membership) received information in mid-June about RENEWING for the 2023 - 2024 membership year. If you need to change the Key Contact for your organization, please contact Ann Nault at
[email protected].
-
If your organization has previously been a member, but not in the most recent year, you will be considered a NEW member.
-
If you are joining as a new secondary school member, please use your high school name as your organization unless you are directly employed at the district office level (the latter is considered a school district membership). Public secondary school membership is free.
We encourage current members to take a moment to review and update your organization's members in addition to renewing for the new membership year.
