One-Stop-Shop Phone Line Exclusively for Members

In an effort to improve customer service for our members, the NAIA has revamped the membership phone line at (816) 595-8304. This is now a one-stop-shop phone line, exclusively for members, that allows callers to connect directly with three NAIA departments – the eligibility center, legislative services, and InCred. Existing phone lines for these departments are still active for use.

Non-member callers (i.e. parents, student-athletes) should use the following numbers to contact the eligibility center and InCred:
  • EC: 816-595-8300
  • InCred: 816-595-8390
