NIA Member Orientation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NIA members are paramount to the success and future of our organization, and it is important that first-time Convention attendees and new members are current on the benefits afforded to them through NIA membership. Get introduced to a NIA mentor, learn how to get the most out of Convention, and find out which events will be beneficial for your business type. This invitation-only orientation includes an overview of how NIA serves its members and the mechanical insulation industry, and introduces our new members and first-time attendees to NIA\u2019s staff, committee members, and association leaders. If you are a first-time Convention attendee, be sure to check the \u201cFirst Convention\u201d box when you register.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
