The National Council offers Affiliate Membership to qualified entities — vendors, consultants, and other colleague organizations that serve the behavioral healthcare industry and have a strong commitment to the National Council and our mission.

Affiliate Members have an unprecedented opportunity to interact with and engage National Council members — the largest and most renowned behavioral healthcare organizations in the country. Partnering with the National Council and our members, you can be an intrinsic part of our public policy action.

Membership also opens up a dynamic marketplace where you will have ample opportunity to tap, cultivate, and expand new sources of business. As an “insider,” you will gain valuable knowledge and insight into emerging business opportunities that may be ripe for exploration or problem areas in need of unique solutions.

Benefits unique to Affiliate Members include:

• Priority announcements regarding conference exhibit booths, advertisements, and sponsorship opportunities.
• Special notice and recognition for National Council Affiliate Members in the Exhibit Hall during the National Council Annual Conference.
• Use of the National Council’s “Good Housekeeping” Affiliate Member Seal on your marketing and promotional materials.
• Listing on the National Council’s Affiliate Member web page, featuring your logo, a description of your services and a direct link to your web site.
• Access to the National Council leadership to discuss issues of highest priority to you.
• Opportunity to participate in and perhaps to sponsor one of our National Council International Exchange visits.
• Meetings, visits, and other events to help you cultivate constructive relationships with members of Congress in Washington, DC, or in your home district, on issues relevant to you and the industry.

The membership year runs from October 1 to September 30 and membership applications are accepted throughout the year. Annual Affiliate Member dues through September 30, 2009 are $5,000.
