Your Voice...Your Benefits

Dear Members,
You're Strong Voice is NCISS!
From long time member, Brandon Perron - "
Proud member here. The powerful advocacy and network of first class professionals are key strengths."
"
One of the key strengths of NCISS is the Powerful network of first class Professionals who Advocate for businesses on a National level. NCISS needs You and Your Voice to help keep You in business!" - Executive Director, Karen Beers
NCISS is unique in it's mission - YOU - to advocate for all professional investigators and security officers and agencies to further our profession - to keep us in business with the resources we need.
Your dues and donations are prioritized and vital to engaging our legislative advocate in Washington DC, who has been effective in curtailing potentially harmful regulations and legislation to date.
NCISS does this by staying alert to actions at the national level which may have a positive or negative impact on our professions, and partnering with state associations to offer our assistance at the local level. It truly is a partnership of our members and state associations - Together We're Better!
For over 40 years NCISS has been, and continues to be, the most influential voice and legislative advocate for the Security and Private Investigation professions in the United States of America.
As the largest national association of investigative and security professionals, your reach and influence is more than your membership - it is the combined voices of your association and colleagues. As many members are part of other state, national and international associations with varying benefits, at NCISS we offer unique benefits - from legislative advocacy and alerts to multi-association integral networking.
The most important benefit you may realize by being a member - and encouraging others to join - is advocating for the rights and privileges of your profession. From friendships to guidance, and grassroots advocacy to national and global assistance, NCISS works for, and counts on, you.
This work is never done, and having Lobbyit is a valuable asset to each of our members. We will be having a reception at Hit the Hill at the Lobbyit offices on Tuesday April 30th!

With a primary mission of legislative advocacy at the federal level in Congress and regulatory agencies, and assisting state associations with local advocacy, NCISS offers tangible benefits to members.
- Nation's largest listserv of vetted professional investigators and security agencies. Why take a chance with your reputation and your client's case by using unvetted references from generic and unmonitored listserves? Not only are members vetted, NCISS has members from nearly every state and also from other state, national and international associations - the largest reaching network of our profession.
- Top tier insurance programs for members - from discounted vision and dental program offerings, to agency insurance - you're covered.
- The best discounts at Office Depot / Office Max - from their print center (save up to 85%) to online and in-store product discounts.
- Visit
www.nciss.org/sponsors-vendors
for more vendors and
www.nciss.org/membership-and-benefits
for more benefits.
There are more benefits - and don't overlook the most important...
It doesn't cost to be a member of NCISS - it pays from the savings and potential resources for assistance, networking and referrals.
Most important - the work of NCISS by member volunteers to prevent restricting legislation and regulations from costing us business - such as the DPPA, FCRA, GLB, and postal change of address exemptions, to supporting legislation and regulations that protect us - such as the National Sex Offender Registry.
Again, you're covered!
For over 40 years, NCISS volunteer members have worked diligently and relentlessly for our professions. Please be sure to renew your dues now, or join now.

Proactive Alerts & Calls to Action for
Investigative & Security Professionals
|
Legislative Alerts and Call to Action
(
www.nciss.org/legislation
) - Beginning with the member listserv and using Constant Contact, the Legislative Committee and legislative advocate - Lobbyit - NCISS brings you the news of our profession as it happens. To make sure each member and state association is fully informed, Lobbyit also issues a monthly legislative summary of events.
Lobbyit in Washington DC
- Lobbyit is the NCISS legislative advocate in Washington DC; their office is a short walk from the US Capitol and congressional and other government administrative offices. Represented by Keith Nelson, NCISS has enjoyed a strong and successful relationship with Keith and Lobbyit. On a daily basis, Keith is available and regularly monitors legislative and regulatory activity in Washington DC, creates monthly news bulletins and alerts, and custom Call to Action programs as needed.
Your Advocate and The eAdvocate
(
www.nciss.org/your-advocate
) - Three times per year NCISS distributes Your Advocate digital magazine with easy references for the activities that NCISS and state associations are watching. Bi-monthly each member is emailed The eAdvocate with information about each region and association activities, special member accomplishments and up-to-date news of our profession.
Listserv
(
www.nciss.org/listserve-resources
) - The NCISS Listserv gives each member a national resource for the exchange of referral work and information helpful to assignments. The Listserv also allows NCISS to communicate to members and keep them abreast of legal and legislative happenings affecting them. The NCISS listserv is one of the nation's largest and most active.

Networking and Peer Assistance
|
National Networking, Member Directory and Member Search
(
www.nciss.org/member-search
and the
State Association Directory
www.nciss.org/state-associations
)
- One of the most important values, and foundation, is you - the membership. NCISS screens all membership applications, providing you the benefit of seeking assistance directly with another member via the directory or listserv requests for assistance. The quarterly digital membership directory includes individual and association members, with contact information and specialties. The listserv is also utilized by members for requests of assistance needed.
Business & Training Bulletins & Events
- NCISS is comprised of members that are leaders and experts in their fields. Special bulletins are written by members of NCISS who are experienced and experts in their field, these bulletins accommodate the sharing of ideas and standards. In addition, these members also serve as ambassadors of NCISS and our professions when they speak and give training nationally to our member association conferences and events.
Annual Meeting and Mid-Term Meeting
- The annual meeting includes important seminars and meeting and is held in conjunction with Hit the Hill each the spring in Washington DC. Our Mid-Term meeting, which moves around the country to
support state associations, is held in conjunction with a member state associations conference events each fall. Both are important and foster learning and professionalism as well as networking with peers from around the country.
Annual Hit the Hill
- The mission of NCISS is legislative advocacy at the federal level for members. One of the most important, and effective, in doing so is the annual Hit the Hill. Each spring NCISS leaders and members meet in Washington, DC to visit with our elected Senators and Representatives in Congress. NCISS also holds special functions to meet and greet these elected officials, and special luncheon with a keynote speaker - usually inside the Capitol building.
It saves and PAYS to be a member of NCISS!
Vendors and Sponsors
(
www.nciss.org/vendors-sponsors
) - NCISS understands members also need tangible benefits for their membership dues. The committee continues to find benefits - any of which may return more than the cost of annual dues. NCISS does not charge a premium on any dues for any member benefits. Using just two of these can save over $500 annually!
