I don't have to be a member of NAPNAP to maintain my NP certification, but
it is through NAPNAP local affiliate that I meet and network with other NPs.
This is an important part of my life so I don't feel like I'm all alone in
the world.  The same goes for ILCA.  I'm a member of local ILCA chapter and
get support there for local issues.

In NAPNAP chapter we charge higher dues for local membership if you aren't a
member of national.  In ILCA chapter, you are a non-voting member if you
aren't a member of ILCA (I think - that may have changed.)  In other words
we put a premium on being a non member of main organization.

I would encourage people to join their national/international  organization.
Perhaps ILCA can consider what ANA does.  If you are not working as a nurse
or unemployed, dues are half.  I'm sure we can put our minds to finding a
good solution for all. (Workers and volunteers :-)  Pat in SNJ
