There are millions of ways to use language, but humor is one of the very best.

Founded in 1999, on the cusp of a new millennium, by the visionary thought leader Amanda Shilling, the National Association of National Associations (NANA) unifies national associations of every stripe with the shared experience of a yearly membership fee of $199.99. 

Once you become a member, we fight tirelessly on your behalf. No cause is too small or too specific. Whether it’s the National Association of Sea Glass Collectors or the National Association of Left-Handed Carpenters, we stand ready to defend your mission, amplify your message, and advocate for you at the local, state, and national level.

Membership benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • NANA armband: Proudly display your membership in this far-sighted “organization of organizations.”
  • 24-hour access to our NANA hotline: This pre-recorded, alphabetical, dramatic reading of the name of every organization in our association is a powerful reminder that you are part of a movement.
  • NANA teddy bear: Daguerreotype-style photo of an actual teddy bear named after the acronym for your organization.
