How does signing up for Membership work?

Once your organization decides to become a member, the main person-of-contact or person who is authorized to make payment on behalf of the organization (the "parent" account) will create an account via the membership form above. During the registration process the person-of-contact will have the ability to add additional contacts ("child" accounts) from the organization that will allow them to create their own accounts and access the membership portal.

Please note that if the person-of-contact or "parent" account does not renew membership, everyone under that person's account will lose access to the Member Portal and NYEC membership.
