How to Join to the NW/MET Organization
Membership Application Word | pdf
NW/MET began in 1978 as a support organization for media professionals in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia and Alberta. Membership has been expanded to include Montana, Alaska and Saskatchewan. Our history of professional activities includes the development and field testing of an instrument for self-study of institutional media service programs which is now incorporated in AECT's Standards for College and University Learning Resources Programs. NW/MET also designed and pilot studied an intensive certification program for media managers in higher education under sponsorship of AECT's Division of Educational Media Management.
Benefits of membership include a yearly conference, state and province meetings, NW/MET website and access to the NW/MET listserver. But most important NW/MET offers its members an opportunity to present results of research and experiences and network with professionals in a region whose problems and solutions are similar to one's own. The Membership Directory, published yearly, lists each member's areas of expertise and contact information.
NW/MET membership dues are $35 per year and have never increased. Other dues info is contained in our by-laws.
