Membership in Chapters

At NAHSE, belonging begins where national purpose meets local connection. Each chapter represents the heart of our organization. Creating spaces where members can grow, lead, and make an impact in their own communities while staying connected to NAHSE’s national mission.

​

In alignment with NAHSE Bylaws, all members of local chapters must also hold personal, student, or institutional membership in the national association. Payment of local chapter dues opens the door to meaningful opportunities—not just events, but experiences that build relationships, expand knowledge, and strengthen networks that last a lifetime.

​

Through your local chapter, you’ll gain access to:

  • Local newsletters that keep you informed and inspired

  • Educational sessions and professional development programs

  • Regular chapter meetings for collaboration and idea sharing

  • Networking events that foster mentorship, partnership, and community
     

Note: Local Chapter membership is required for any individual residing within 75 miles of an established NAHSE Chapter. NAHSE’s strength lives in its chapters, where national vision meets local impact, and members find both purpose and community in the work they do together.
