Why You Should Join the NCEO

In a field as large and complex as this, the education and support you will receive from your NCEO membership--from our newsletter, books, meetings, assistance from NCEO staff, discussion forum, and more--will be vital. Our resources can and will help you at any point, whether you are deciding whether to install a plan in the first place or addressing a situation with an established plan.

Our executive director discusses why you should join

Who Should Join

Anyone who deals with employee stock plans and participation at any stage of the process should join the NCEO:

Companies that are considering a plan, implementing a plan, or working with an existing plan. Your membership benefits (discounts on books and seminars, access to the Web site members area, and ability to contact us with questions) will extend to everyone else at the company.
Service providers in relevant fields (attorneys, accountants, appraisers, investment advisors, brokerage firms, administrators, software providers, trustee and fiduciary service providers, communication and education advisors, general consultants, etc.). A regular membership will be individual to you. However, if you join as a Referral Service member, your membership benefits (discounts on books and seminars, access to the Web site members area, and ability to contact us with questions) are will extend to everyone else at your office (but not other locations).
Academics and other individuals who are interested in this field.

How to Join

Joining the NCEO does not require you to submit detailed information about your company or obligate you to do anything except pay for membership—it's no more involved than subscribing to a magazine. Unlike some other organizations, we will not automatically renew your membership; your credit card will never be charged for anything you do not specifically order. Instead, when your membership is due to expire, we will send you a renewal notice, giving you the opportunity to renew if you so choose.

NCEO membership fees are tax-deductible. For companies new to the NCEO, it costs $90 to join for one year (12 months) from the date of membership ($100 outside the U.S.).

Use our membership order form if membership is all you want.
Use our regular order form if you also want to buy books and/or register for a meeting.
Or telephone us at 510-208-1300 with your credit card in hand.
