Membership Information
NMAESP is united with the National Association of Elementary School Principals under a joint membership arrangement.
Members must join both associations, and therefore receive the expanded benefits and services of both associations.
The goals and success of NMAESP and NAESP depend on active, vital, paid membership.
To ensure that every elementary and middle school principal and assistant principal is able to help us build the profession, the dues of NMAESP and NAESP remain among the least expensive in the nation.
