Affiliate Frequently Asked Questions
How do members become a part of an Affiliate?When a member joins NAIFA, there will not be an option to join an Affiliate. Once a member joins, a NAIFA staff member will manually look up their county from the address they provided. If their county is assigned to an Affiliate, they will be added to the appropriate group.
What if a member wants to choose their Affiliate?If a member would like to be a part of an Affiliate (or a different Affiliate than what they are assigned to), the member must contact NAIFA and request this change be made. The member may call 877-866-2432 or email
info@naifa.org.
Should Affiliates be focused around population centers or member population centers?
Rather than focusing on population centers, focus first and foremost on how far members are willing to travel.
Where should programming be held within an Affiliate?Although it may be your first instinct to host programming in one location, it is best practice to host programming in multiple different locations throughout an Affiliate's jurisdiction.
Where can I get more information?The
Chapter Playbook includes additional details on Affiliates, including position descriptions. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to
leadership@naifa.org.
