How to Join

The majority of PNACL members join a nearby chapter to become involved in local meetings and workshops. If there is no chapter near you, you may also join as an at-large member or collaborate with others in the area to start a new chapter. Bookstores, vendors, and similar organizations may join as sustaining members.

Membership dues, including association and local chapter dues, are renewed annually on July 1. Applications and further instructions are available by following the links in the above section.
