JOINING SDAEYC IS EASY!
Follow These Steps:

   1. Log on to www.naeyc.org
   2. Look at the second bar down from the top and to your far left you’ll notice the “Membership” tab.
   3. If you’d like to see membership details, look at the drop down menu.
   4. Otherwise, go straight down to “Join or Renew” and click.
   5. Finally, on this screen that shows, “Join/Renew” and click on “New Members”.

You can take it from there – just make sure that you indicate you also want to join the California Association and the San Diego Affiliate (902).

WHY JOIN?

   1. You will have another wonderful resource to help with your career and/or family life.
   2. Anyone who is a member will receive discounts on awesome conferences! Local, State, and National (close to us this time – in Anaheim) will be a lightened load on your wallet in exchange for Professional Growth Hours needed for your employers, students, and/or Child Development Permits.
   3. When you join our local affiliate (San Diego – 902) you will receive a bi-monthly e-newsletter to keep you in touch with our board, activities, and current events.
   4. Joining the San Diego affiliate also makes you a member of a total of three organizations. You will automatically become a member of the California and National Associations.
   5. It will be a great addition to your professional background to show potential employers that you are a part of these three organizations.
   6. You will know what’s going on with of our events, meetings, and committees (as seen on our website).
   7. When you attend our events, you’ll be meeting a lot of new people and seeing a lot of friends. (Networking is one of the best parts!)
   8. SDAEYC has scholarships that are available for members only.
   9. You will receive current information from the field. Depending upon which type of membership you choose, you will be sent professional journals and/or books. (If you’re a student, this is really useful because you have papers to write and many instructors assign NAEYC publications for your classes.)
  10. You will meet people who will advise you, support you, and inspire you. (What more could you need?)
