Join NCHE Now! 2024-25 Membership Drive

It’s time to renew NCHE memberships and recruit new members!  NCHE welcomes all NEA higher education members as “individual members” with voting rights in NCHE, as well as “organizational members,” which are NEA higher education affiliates that join NCHE, also with voting rights.  NCHE also welcomes non-higher-ed NEA members and HQ and affiliate staff as associate members.

Use this link –  Join NCHE Now! – to pay by credit card for any of the NCHE membership categories.  Credit card payment through this link is by far the best option for NCHE record-keeping and for the timeliness of membership processing.  If check payment is the only option, NCHE welcomes checks accompanied by paper forms:
