How Organizational Membership Works

By joining with NAMLE in a formal relationship, organizational members:

• Enrich the national picture of the diverse groups that are actively working toward the broad goal of expanding media literacy education as a learning skill for the 21st century. 

• Reinforce NAMLE as the national presence and voice for media literacy in the United States.

• Directly link their organization to other member organizations as well as to NAMLE's individual members.

• Showcase their programs to NAMLE's members who care passionately about media literacy issues.

 National / Local Areas of Responsibility

NAMLE does not compete with other organizations or duplicate program efforts of its organizational members.

Instead, NAMLE provides the infrastructure and leadership for an alliance of individuals and organizations in the US, and provides the means for overall communication and strategic planning within the media literacy education field.

If you work in an organization that is involved in some way in media literacy education we invite you to apply for Organizational membership.

Together, we can accomplish more than we each can do alone.

Meet our current organizational members.  Read about their impressive programs, visit their websites and connect with them for collaboration, networking or joint projects. 

TO JOIN: Organizational memberships may be submitted online with a credit card by clicking the JOIN/RENEW link below.  If your accounting office prefers to pay by check from a paper registration form/invoice, download the mail-in form and return it with your check to the address indicated.

Organizational Member Benefits

In addition to the basic benefits and services provided to all members, organizational members receive several additional considerations:

1. WebSite Posting Notice:

Showcase your organization and its services or involvement in media literacy education through a 100 - 150 word posting notice on the NAMLE website. Display your logo if you wish and as you write up your notice, embed 3 to 5 hyperlinks to specific sections of your site. It's like a 365-day "billboard" linking you not just to NAMLE members but to the wider media literacy community that cares passionately about media literacy programs, services and opportunities. The notice is updatable every year at time of renewal. Click on link above for complete instructions and where to send it.

2. Full Member Benefits for your liaison

The designated liaison you name from your organization  will automatically receive all the member benefits and voting privleges of a regular individual membership. ($60 value.)

3. Cross-promotional Opportunities

• Permission use the NAMLE name in publicizing and promoting your own media literacy programs or actitivies (e.g. "The Center for Media" is an organizational member of the National Association for Media Literacy Education.")

• Open invitation to post news items and upcoming events in both the NAMLE Update and the new Media Literacy events calendar on this website.

• Opportunity to apply to Program Committee of NAMLE to officially co-sponsor and/or participate in conferences and events that promote media literacy education.

• Opportunity to showcase your work through presentations or exhibits at the NAMLE National Conference. Submissions from organizational members receive extra consideration in evaluating proposal submissions.

• Permission to link to NAMLE's website from your own and to encourage your own staff, board and constitutency to join NAMLE as the leading national organization dedicated to advancing inquiry-based media literacy education. We hope you will also promote membership  to your constitutency as well as pass along news of  NAMLE events and resources from the  NAMLE Marketplace.
