Member Resource Library

This resource covers key considerations such as communicating changes to the BOC, preparing speakers for live online sessions, selecting the right virtual platform, and managing attendee tracking and accessibility features.

The NATA State Association Advisory Committee (SAAC) also encourages leaders to build an online repository of resources for members, including NATA publications, public health updates, telemedicine guidance, and state-specific information such as unemployment resources, legislative updates, and COVID-related policies.

Examples from other state associations are included for reference.

Ensuring leadership is diverse and inclusive (reflective of the association demographics) has been another challenge for many state associations. This includes diversity by race, religion, age, sex, ethnic or national origin, disability, health status, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Diversity and inclusion also includes work setting. It is critical for associations to model inclusivity and acceptance by setting appropriate association policies and procedures while advocating for policies supportive of all association members
