Read the complete list of benefits and download a membership form from our website.
   
   
2. Browse our online home. Mark it as a favorite so you can revisit weekly—it is updated frequently.
   
   
3. Read the electronic alerts that are regularly sent to members so you stay informed of timely issues affecting adult day services nationwide. Make sure your email is not blocked from the updates and update your email address with us by sending an email to info@nadsa.org.
   
   
4. Subscribe to our Yahoo listserv and exchange ideas, solve problems and learn what issues others are facing.  Register (free of charge) at www.yahoo.com. To subscribe, send an email to adultdayservices-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. 
   
   
5. Save money and enjoy member discounts by ordering NADSA publications and other resources to train staff in your center and/or to increase your own knowledge from the website.
   
   
6. Participate in quarterly webcasts/audio calls.

Updates are posted through alerts and on the website regularly.
