NAC MEMBERSHIP
Naval Association of Canada (NAC) members reside across Canada and abroad, and share an interest in our Navy and the maritime security issues that impact the safety and security of our nation.
While all are members of the National organization, its membership services are also administered through Branches located in cities across Canada. In addition to advancing the national goals and values of the Association, the Branches provide for NAC awareness and programs in their local communities, share locally focused events and news, and provide face-to-face opportunities to meet with the others who share our interests.
We strongly encourage all with an interest in our Maritime history and security to join. For more information on the NAC, please contact the national coordinator.
NAC JOINING or RENEWAL
All NAC members are registered on a shared National database. Members across the country are provided online access to a personal account. In addition to joining the NAC community, they can edit and manage their personal private profile, tailor individual preferences for privacy and information sharing, and register for events whether locally in person or online across the nation.
The NAC is increasingly active online, and our membership services are available on all personal devices for enhanced access and mobility. Many of the pages and events are available only to members. Lastly, branches may choose to design web pages tailored to their local membership requirements.
NAC has harmonized its membership categories and is centralizing its membership management procedures. This site and the links below will be kept up-to-date as that initiative progresses. At the same time, NAC memberships can also be administered through the local Branches.
While activity within the application is integrated and often processed by the same individual, applying for a membership and renewing a membership are separate functions when conducted online. Hence the separate links elaborated on below.
JOIN!Membership
has been harmonized nationally to broaden the understanding of
membership in a national organization, streamline the membership support
and administration of all members across the country, and assist local
branch governance and initiatives. Individuals who wish to JOIN may
now do so online - please use the link in the box below: Naval Association of Canada On
joining, new members complete a contact form to inform their membership profile. That includes the selection of an affiliation with a
preferred branch. They will be added to that Branch's list of members
for their local community news and information, and their dues will
contribute to local and regional activities in addition to National
services If a member prefers to remain at a national level only, their dues will remain fully in support of national initiatives. |
Membership Renewal
Current members who wish to RENEW their membership online all use the renewal link below to complete their renewal. The link will draw from your existing membership category and your renewal, once completed, will be applied immediately to your personal membership profile.
The online renewal process involves two stages:
- First stage - an opportunity to update, if needed, any of the principle items in your personal profile. This keeps our contact data up-to-date. Whether you make any amendments or not, don't forget to select "updated and next" to move on to the next stage.
- Second stage - a request to review and confirm your renewal details. At the bottom of this page you have the option to either pay online immediately or be invoiced. If you choose to pay online, the link takes you to an external credit card payment processor and your membership is renewed automatically. If you choose to be invoiced, the renewal details will be emailed to you, your profile will be updated to note that it has been initiated ("pending"), and the invoice made available online to you as well. The email contains instructions on how to pay via e-transfer or cheque. Your renewal will be completed once your payment is received.
Should you encounter any difficulties with the online renewal process, please contact your membership director or the national coordinator.
Memberships can also be renewed under arrangements provided by your local branch.
DonationsMembership renewal is a traditional occasion that many members use to make donations to their branch or other worthy charitable causes supported by the NAC. Further information on these charities can be found on the donation page at the link below. |
