Which NSA Georgia Membership Type fits you?

NSA Georgia members join as one of three different types:

1. NSA Georgia Membership

To maintain our professional standards, we reserve the NSA Georgia Member designation for full-time professional speakers who are also members of the national chapter of the National Speakers Association.

If you’re not yet a member of the national chapter, click here to learn about its requirements---or consider our Associate Membership. Feel free to attend our meetings as a guest for $50 while you determine which membership makes the most sense for you. We’ll keep you on our mailing list for 6 months to keep you informed of upcoming meetings.

Please note: Members of NSA Georgia are not automatically members of NSA—they must meet the membership requirements of NSA separately.
