Advocacy Hub
NCISS continues to show leadership and its commitment to State Association outreach with the release of the new Advocacy Hub (AH). The AH is a wonderful tool for State Associations to monitor legislation effecting their state. The AH not only identifies certain pieces legislation, it can be helpful with call to action letters from your members to your Congressional and House Representatives.
 
The AH will continue to add more features as we learn more about the issues that have an impact on your business. The AH link can be found our website, via this short link http://goo.gl/QSCcgc

Check Out Your New NCISS Website!
 

In November it was announced that the new website was up!  The new site has a new feel, look and information to keep all members informed of the mission of NCISS and successes for which your support is both needed and appreciated.

 

Navigation is easy.  We have added a new Vendors & Sponsors page - please visit and contact them for how they can help you as a member of NCISS.  The member directory is listed with contact information, or you can move to the search page and specify the criteria you need to find a member to assist you.

 

The final steps are to have online membership applications, dues renewals and conference registrations all online and easier for members.  As this is being finalized, be sure and continue to make your dues and conference payments directly to Carol by email or fax.

 

If you have any questions, suggestions or problems with the website, please contact NCISS or your Regional Director.

 

Roy Bucklin has agreed to continue as our Technology Chair in maintaining the website.
