School Nurses
Organization of Arizona is a "unified affiliate" of
NASN
New NASN Membership
Payment Option
We are pleased to announce a new payment
option for NASN and unified affiliate membership
dues. School nurses will continue to have the
option to pay full annual dues by credit card,
check or PO. School nurses will now have the
additional option of four installments charged
to their credit card.
The installment option is available
exclusively for new and renewal members who are
using a credit card for payment. Membership dues
for NASN and the unified affiliates can be
automatically debited in four quarterly
installments. The first payment is processed
upon receipt of the application. Subsequent
payments are charged every three months to the
credit card. The member's anniversary date is
adjusted in increments of three months and is
extended with each payment. There is a
processing fee associated with the installment
option. The cost is $5.00, $1.25 each quarter.
This amount is 5% of NASN dues. In the event
that payment is unsuccessful (due to an expired
credit card), we will mark the membership as
lapsed and contact the lapsed member by phone
and mail. The member will not be eligible for
benefits until the payment is made.
The Member in Good Standing (MIGs) report
will change to reflect this new option. We have
added a column entitled Frequency. This column
will distinguish between members that are paying
annually versus members paying in
installments.
The monthly cycle that is currently in place
for remitting dues to the affiliates will not
change. For members on the installment plan, the
dues will be remitted as they are paid, in
one-fourth increments. This will impact
affiliate cash flow, as remits will now include
a mix of annual and quarterly dues. However, we
are confident that this new feature will support
membership growth and appeal to the member's
needs.
