Become a Member

Membership Quick Facts:

Did you know that if you are an NATA member, you're automatically an IATA member as well? The membership fee you pay to the NATA is divided into several parts. Part of it stays with the NATA to provide advocacy and programming on a national level. Another part is distributed to NATA's District 11 to support ATs at the regional level. Finally, a portion of your dues comes back to Illinois, to help the IATA advocate for you on a local level! So, if you're already an NATA member, you don't need to apply to become an IATA member. You're already one of us!

What happens when you apply to become an IATA member? When you click "submit", your application goes directly to the Membership Director. They review it and contact you if they need any additional information. You'll also receive an invoice from our Vice President and association management company, Marquardt & Co., to pay your membership dues online. Professional or Associate membership dues are $46, and Student membership dues are $5. Once we receive your payment, the Membership Director confirms that you're a member with you! You'll also receive instructions on how to access the Members section of our website.

Commonly, athletic training association memberships renew on January 1st. IATA direct membership (when you apply directly to the IATA, instead of through the NATA) is also based on the calendar year, but you may join us at any time.
