AOA NASO Group Membership FAQ's
Q. Can I take advantage of the group discount without being a member of AOA?
A. No. The group discount requires membership in the AOA as recorded by the Division Secretary-Treasurers.
Q. Am I required to join NASO to be a member of AOA?
A. No. AOA has worked with NASO to provide a reduced fee to those AOA members who would like to receive NASO benefits.
Q. Does my payment for NASO Membership also cover my AOA Dues?
A. No. You will still need to pay your Division dues by the deadline established by each AOA Division.
Q. My email address changed and I did not receive the AOA message about the offer. Will I still be able to sign up?
A. No. NASO provides a discount to local official associations whose members join as a group prior to the school year. Once the roster is submitted, the next opportunity will be one year later. All members on file will be notified at that time.
Q. I am already a NASO member. Will NASO convert my membership automatically to receive this discount?
A. All interested members submit payment of $94 to AOA. AOA submits a single payment to NASO on behalf of the group. If your information matches an existing individual subscription, NASO will prorate it and issue a credit or refund for any unused months.
Q. Will NASO send me a renewal notice next year?
A. No. NASO notifies AOA, and AOA contacts all members at renewal time. Going forward you will be notified by AOA when your renewal is due.
