The Associate membership level is no longer available to new or reinstating members. Starting July 1, 2015, current Associate members will be upgraded to the Advisory Committee level on their anniversary dates.
BACKGROUND:
As of July 1, 2014, NMHC offers four levels of membership ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 a year (see below). The entry-level membership is the Associate level, which costs $2,500 a year.
Membership Type | Fee |
Executive Committee | $20,000 (by invitation only) |
Board of Directors | $15,000 ($10,000 introductory first year) |
Advisory Committee | $5,000 |
Associate | $2,500 |
NMHC's Membership Committee spent a considerable amount of time analyzing the membership structure, with a special focus on the Associate level. Their findings, and the basis for their recommendations, which were approved by the NMHC Officers, are that $2,500 is too low for the benefits NMHC provides and is actually below what it costs NMHC to serve each member firm. Because of this, the Associate membership will be phased out, making the Advisory Committee ($5,000 a year) the entry-level NMHC membership.
The Advisory-level membership includes two complimentary registrations (a $1,400 value) and one additional registration slot for the Annual Meeting. This membership level also includes three complimentary registrations for the Fall Board & Advisory Committee Meeting (a $1,500 value). These additional benefits are worth $2,900. Your current Associate membership does not include complimentary registrations to NMHC meetings.
