Membership
The Annual Summit is for current ANCA Members or employees of Organization Members. We do not want the cost of a membership to be a barrier to attending, and will offer two discounted membership rates for non-members to join. On the registration form, non-members may choose from the following discounted membership rates:
- Associate Membership for $55 (a $20 discount)
- Professional Membership for $80 (a $35 discount)
Learn more about membership here. Please note that the discounted rates are for non-members or expired members (6+ months), and are not available for membership renewals.
Scholarships
ANCA is offering two scholarship opportunities for the Summit:
- Community Scholarships are awarded to senior management staff who demonstrate the greatest need and potential impact the Summit will have on their position; these scholarships provide up to $600. Community Scholarships are competitive, and priority is given to applicants with small budgets and first-time attendees. This scholarship is not available to applicants who have received two or more scholarships in the past.
- Equity Scholarships cover $1000 of Summit registration and travel for attendees who identify as part of or work with underrepresented groups (e.g., urban centers, rural centers, BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIA+ members). This scholarship is for participants attending an in-person Summit for the first time.
The scholarship application deadline is May 16, and award decisions will be made by June 6.
