Corporate Membership

NASTD provides opportunities to put private sector organizations in contact with the $78.3B state government IT market. Membership is required for private sector organizations to participate in association seminars and conferences.

Corporate affiliate membership is open to businesses that provide technology services or equipment to the public sector. These businesses have more than 15 full-time employees or annual revenues exceeding $1 million. 

Below is some key information regarding corporate affiliate membership: 

  • Memberships expire 12 months from the date dues are received and is open to all private sector organizations in the business of providing information technology products and/or services to state government. 

  • Each corporate affiliate member organization may register an unlimited number of full-time employees working within its organization to receive NASTD membership privileges. 

  • By joining and renewing your membership, you agree to follow our Corporate Affiliate Member Policy. 

Small/Micro business affiliate membership is open to private sector companies in the business of offering/providing information technology, hardware, software, facilities and/or services to the public sector.  A small/micro business is defined as an entity with 15 or fewer full-time equivalent employees or annual revenue of $1,000,000 or less.  Small/micro business affiliates enjoy the same benefits as corporate affiliate members.  

Key Benefits 

Your membership in NASTD entitles you to many benefits and services, and there is no limit on how many IT professionals states can designate to share in NASTD member benefits.
