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.

• Individual/Associate Membership
• Organizational Membership
