Membership in NERA introduces you to a community of educators who are interested in all aspects of educational research. More than 330 registrants representing 18 states attended the annual conference held in October 2011. We welcome experienced researchers, junior faculty, and graduate students.

If you are not able to attend our annual meeting next year, you still are eligible to join NERA or to renew your membership for the 2012-2013 year. Membership will ensure that you remain updated on NERA initiatives and continue your association with colleagues and friends. You will also have a head start on our 2012 Conference.

New members: Join NERA online. Or if you prefer to mail in your membership application, you can download the membership form (PDF).

Current members: Renew your NERA membership online. Or if you prefer to renew your membership by mail, you can download the membership form (PDF).

Important Announcement regarding the NERA Researcher – In accordance with NERA's commitment to sustainability, beginning last year, members have the option of only receiving an electronic version of the newsletter. When joining or renewing your membership you will be given the option of:

• Receiving an e-mail with the link to each newly-published online issue of the NERA Researcher for the 2012-2013 membership year, and NOT receive a paper copy.
  
• Receiving both a paper copy of the NERA Researcher, and the e-mail that includes the link to newly-published issues.

If you have any questions about membership or the organization, please feel free to contact Dr. Helen Marx, Treasurer (members@nera-education.org) or any of the other board members.
