Membership

Retired or retiring members can apply for Emeritus Membership online

New criteria include years of membership and level of involvement in NIRSA

The NIRSA Board of Directors recently approved new criteria for consideration of Emeritus Membership. Emeritus Members have all rights and privileges of Professional Members, including the right to hold office, but are not required to pay membership dues. In addition to years of membership, the new criteria place value on leadership involvement.

The NIRSA Board of Directors receives applications for Emeritus Membership status. The Board will approve or reject the nominations based on years of membership, level of activity within the Association, offices held, etc.

Retired or retiring members who meet the qualifications are encouraged to apply.
