Membership Levels

You can Become a Member or Renew your Membership online.

You can join NCFR at a membership level that best suits your needs. All individual members at each level of membership receive the NCFR Report Newsletter, reduced fees at conferences and other NCFR discounts, as well as voting and office-holding rights in the organization. Each member also has the opportunity to join smaller special interest "sections" within NCFR, as well as regional and state affiliate groups near you.

There are additional benefits available, above and beyond all of these, at the various membership levels described below:

*In 2009 only, all members will also receive the new journal Family Theory & Review regardless of membership type.*

Benefactor - NCFR benefactors choose this level of membership for the highest level of prestige and benefits. In addition to receiving subscriptions and on-line access to both of NCFR's scholarly journals, Benefactors contribute an additional tax-deductible donation of $57 that is specifically earmarked to subsidize student memberships, nurturing the next generation of family professionals.

Many of our Benefactors are long-time members who remember joining as a young professional or a student. They know personally how membership in NCFR nurtured their careers. Benefactors "pay it forward" by bringing new members into the organization. We announce Benefactors in the NCFR Report Newsletter and they are identified by a special ribbon on their Annual Conference badge so that new NCFR members can thank them personally. Cost: $200 U.S. - $220 Canadian - $230 Foreign

Colleague - NCFR Colleagues receive all member benefits as well as subscriptions and on-line access to both the Journal of Marriage and Family and Family Relations, all for less than $12 per month! Cost: $143 U.S. - $148 Canadian - $158 Foreign

Associate - Our NCFR Associates receive all member benefits, but choose to receive just one journal - either the Journal of Marriage and Family OR Family Relations. Cost: $113 U.S. - $120 Canadian - $130 Foreign

Supporting members of NCFR receive all member benefits but do not wish to subscribe to our scholarly journals. Cost: $75 U.S. - $85 Canadian - $90 Foreign

Emeritus membership is for our retired members. They receive all member benefits but elect not to subscribe to the journals. Cost: $65 U.S. - $75 Canadian - $85 Foreign

Students have two affordable choices for membership. (College fee statement verification required.) In addition to all member benefits, students can join at the one journal or the two journal subscription option.

Student with both Journals - Cost: $75 U.S. - $85 Canadian - $95 Foreign

Student with one Journal - Either Journal of Marriage and Family OR Family Relations: interdisciplinary Journal on Applied Family Relations. Cost $50 US - $60 Canadian - $70 Foreign

Organizational Membership - In addition to individual memberships, organizations, institutions, governmental departments, and corporations can join with an Organizational membership, which provides subscriptions to both journals including on-line access. An organizational membership includes reduced registration fees for 2 persons to attend the NCFR Annual Conference as well as product discounts, and voting rights in NCFR. Cost $450 US - $490 Canadian - $500 Foreign
