Affiliate Membership

Affiliate Membership Application

 Standard Affiliate Memberships
If you are not a college or university, but you want to buy entertainment, or if you would like to have your information distributed to NACA® members, an affiliate membership might be for you. (If you are a firm engaged in selling goods or services to school members, you would need to join as an associate member).

Benefits of an affiliate membership include:
Showcases: At the National Convention and regional conferences, affiliate members have the opportunity to preview hundreds of live talent showcases, ranging from music and comedy to lecture and novelty acts. These 15-minute performances give affiliate talent buyers the chance to directly experience the show and determine their level of interest.

Block Booking: Block Booking allows schools and affiliates in close geographic proximity to book an act for a consecutive series of dates, providing the act the ability to pool travel and other costs and charge everyone involved in the block a reduced fee for the performance. Active involvement in the Block Booking process provides member schools and affiliates the opportunity to significantly stretch their program budgets, while building valuable leadership and communication skills. 

National Convention & Regional Conferences: In addition to the annual National Convention, each of NACA’s seven regions offers conference and meeting opportunities for members. These events, held in different locations across the country, provide:

• The chance to preview live talent showcases
• The opportunity to participate in Block Booking 
• The ability to increase visibility through exhibiting (note: exhibiting is allowed but not required)
• The opportunity to network face to face with school and associate members

Publications & Resources:

 Non-Profit Affiliate Memberships
If you are a non-profit organization whose services, products or programs are related to campus activities, you would be eligible to become a non-profit affiliate member. Nonprofit affiliate benefits include the ability to preview talent showcases and participate in Cooperative Buying. Non-profit affiliate members may also choose to exhibit at regional conferences or the National Convention, following all applicable associate member policies regarding the purchase of booth space and delegate fees.

Nonprofit affiliate members are not eligible to apply for showcasing opportunities at the National Convention or the regional conferences.
