NASTL adopted an Affiliate Membership Program to provide public and private entities and individuals who share common interests in the NASTL's objectives with an opportunity to formally communicate and cooperate with NASTL members. The Program offers Affiliate members the opportunity to participate in the Association's annual conference, and scheduled Washington DC fly ins, and to talk directly with Association members and state leaders on issues important to both.
Affiliate Membership is designed to:
- Enhance and extend NASTL, its educational missions, institutional impacts, influence and positive public image
- Develop or strengthen relationships with organizations that complement our mission
- Share intellectual & social capital
Desired Outcomes:
- Expand diversity of NASTL members and audiences
- Enhance distribution of NASTL outputs to new, relevant markets
- Augment opportunities to develop, share & evaluate information regarding land, water and other resource management policies and practices
- Help member states maximize the earnings and preserve the assets of educational trusts
