Membership

The Virtual 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 attendance, and will offer two discounted membership rates for non-members. On the registration form, non-members may choose from the following discounted membership rates:

  • Associate Membership for $55 (a $20 discount) — for professionals working in the nature and environmental learning center field who may be new to ANCA or a staff member not in an administrative position
  • Professional Membership for $80 (a $35 discount) — for professionals who have been working in the nature and environmental learning center field and are an Executive Director or top-level Administrator

Learn more about membership here. Please note that the discounted rates are for non-members, and are not available for membership renewals.

Scholarships

ANCA will award Summit Scholarships, ranging from $50 to $150, to senior management staff who demonstrate the greatest need and the potential impact the Virtual Summit will have on their position and their organization. The deadline for scholarship applications is January 13.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Please submit only one scholarship request per organization. If an individual from an ANCA Organization Member receives a scholarship, additional staff members may use the additional staff discount as listed above.
