Membership Dues
Are there any costs associated with NACDD Membership?
There are three NACDD Membership categories: General Membership, Associate Membership, and Friend of NACDD. General Members automatically receive NACDD Membership through their State and Territorial Health Departments, which pay the Membership dues on their behalf. Associate Membership is provided at no cost thanks to a generous donation from the ProVention Health Foundation. There is not a fee for Friend of NACDD at this time.
If you are a Chronic Disease Director and need assistance regarding annual membership dues invoices or online payment support, please contact members@chronicdisease.org.
