Members have expanded capacities on NCRC’s Member Hub and Just Economy Forum and in voting situations compared to the Just Economy Club.
The Just Economy Club is for individuals who want to participate and show their support for NCRC’s work to make a Just Economy a national priority and a local reality… Just Economy Club members choose their own donation levels. Club members have access to the Just Economy Forum, members-only content and discounts on events, However, some content, forums and working groups are for NCRC organization members only, and only NCRC organization members participate and vote at NCRC’s annual member meeting.
The best way is to check out our web site, subscribe to our email newsletters and alerts, and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.
Our Field Notes blog is a great way to hear about NCRC members and their work across the country. To submit your organization’s story for Field Notes consideration, please complete the following form.
Another way to learn about other NCRC member organizations is by interacting with other members in the Just Economy Forum.
A member who has set up an NCRC account can log into the members-only Just Economy Forum at this link using the same username and password.
The Hub can be found under the Membership dropdown on our main website or at this link.
If you are not the primary contact on your organization’s NCRC membership, please make sure the primary contact has added you as a “team member” on the subscription. This will allow you to set up a login for the Just Economy Forum.
At this time, no. The login information connected to your NCRC membership account portal will not work for registering for NTA sessions. All individual staff members of an organization with NCRC membership must create their own accounts using the following link in order to register for NTA sessions. This is to help with the tracking of individual continuing education credits. For more information, please reach out to 202-524-4884 or training@ncrc.org.
This does not necessarily mean you are a member of NCRC. NCRC membership comes with additional benefits beyond NTA as well as annual dues. To become an NCRC member, sign up as an organization at the following link.
