The Northern Sports Officials Association (NSOA) from the Traverse City, Mich., area recently joined NASO as a group member. Many of the NSOA members chose to join NASO and take advantage of the group discount rate, supplemental liability insurance and many benefits.

The NSOA (nsoa.org) has officials who work football, basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball. The association is led by President Barb Beckett, Vice President/Secretary Dave Taberski, Treasurer Tom Cosgrove and six other board members who also serve as trainers for each of the sports.

NASO will design a benefit program that fits the needs of an association’s members. Leaders of associations with 25 or more members interested in having their chapter or conference staff join NASO as a group should contact Ken Koester at 262-632-5448, ext. 132.
