NAMI National Announces Launch of New E-Join Program

NAMI E-Join is a nationwide online membership initiative that began on June 20, 2007. In addition to the traditional membership route via NAMI’s grassroots affiliate network, the over 12,000 unique daily visitors to nami.org will have another way to easily join our organization.  E-Join will allow visitors to NAMI’s Web site to join online, using a credit card, for a universal dues rate of $35/annually. 

NAMI national will not retain any of the dues collected through the E-Join initiative, but will forward all dues income to the appropriate NAMI state organization who will, in turn, forward a portion of those funds to the appropriate local affiliate.  At the time of joining, new members will receive an e-mail notification confirming their membership. NAMI state organizations and affiliates will also receive an e-mail message announcing confirmation of the new member.

Through communications with the leadership councils, newsletters, e-mail communications, and teleconference opportunities, NAMI national will ensure that NAMI’s leaders are well informed as the E-Join initiative moves forward.       NAMI’s goal is for anyone engaged with our mission to have the ability to join us as members!
