Group Membership Options with Association Advantage Titanium

We hear stories all the time about our NASO members talking about the benefits of NASO membership to their fellow officials. Our members are really our best salespeople, and word-of-mouth goes a long way toward bringing new officials into the NASO fold.

We’re always looking for ways to make it even easier to make the decision to join NASO. A few seasons ago, we started experimenting with pricing for group memberships — that is, discounts for groups of officials who all want to join together with a single official coordinating the effort.

From those experiments came the Association Advantage Titanium Membership Program in which sports officials from the same local association, board or chapter all join NASO together at one time as a group.

It’s proven very successful, and NASO now has more than 100 groups on board. In fact, NASO membership from our group program constitutes nearly 50 percent of the entire NASO membership.

In addition to saving up to $32.00 off their NASO dues, group membership provides a variety of other benefits, including:

Free Association Advantage for your association.

Association Advantage provides leadership and training tools, newsletters, Websites and books to your association leaders that specifically focus on how to better run a local officials association. All Association Advantage membership fees are waived when your association’s officials join NASO through the Titanium Membership Program.

Consistent activation and renewal.

All members share the same anniversary date and re-enroll on the same date. The win: That means no individual renewal notices sent to your members six months ahead of time.  Plus, you know the members of your group are properly insured with the best coverage in the industry.

Game Fee/Excess Accident Medical Insurance.

Through the group program, your officials are eligible to purchase Game Fee/Excess Accident Medical Insurance to cover them if injured while working games, and while attending camps, clinics and meetings.

Installment payment options.

If it makes sense for your sports officiating organization, we’ll work with you to come with a payment schedule that fits into your dues structure, timing, etc.

Every individual member of your group has the exact same NASO membership benefits and coverage as any other NASO member, but by joining together, everyone saves.

Dozens of officiating groups have already taken advantage of this program, and not just local officials associations. Groups like the NFL officiating staffs are part of the program, as are members of the Big 10 Football Referees Association and the SEC Football Officials Association.
