Notice to All Expired NHA Members

NHA is asking members with expired memberships to renew NOW!

Membership is the life blood to remain viable and relevant. Having to cancel the 2020 National Symposium had a significant impact on our annual operating revenue – 90% of which comes from this one event. Renewing NOW has become a strategic goal to keep NHA solvent.

We are reaching out to all expired members for your help. NHA remains a member supported non-profit organization. Renewing for an Annual ($40.00), 3-Year ($110.00), or 5-Year ($175.00) Membership and encouraging your many shipmates within the Rotary Wing and Tiltrotor Community to do the same will help us reach our goal. We are dependent upon individual membership to keep us strong and operating in support of our active duty, reserve, retired, and civilian members.

To renew your membership, please take one of the following actions: • Call NHA at (619) 435-7139 and we will assist you over the phone. • E-mail NHA at membership@navalhelicopterassn.org. • Go online and join as a member at www. navalhelicopterassn.org. With your financial support, we will make it through the worst of the pandemic and return to member-based events in the new year. Thank you!
