How do I transfer a membership?
If an employee who leaves an employer is a NASSTRAC member, he or she retains the individual membership. Membership also can be transferred within a company to a new person who replaced the position of the original member. However, the following criteria must be met:

  • The original member must have at least three months left on the membership.
  • The original member is no longer with the company.
  • The employer sends a request to transfer the membership on company letterhead, which may be faxed or mailed to the NASSTRAC office. Please include current information of the new member: name, title, phone and fax number, e-mail, and mailing address and the name and member ID of the original member. > Back to top

Why am I unable to enter the Member Center?
When initially registering with the Member Center on our Web site, enter your Member ID number in the User Name field (this ID number was assigned to you when your membership was initially processed). Then enter your Member ID number in the Password field as well. After registering, you can change your Password to an 8-character password (or continue to use your Member ID for both fields). Please remember that once you change your password, it is case-sensitive. A common error is to put a space at the beginning or end of the data entry field. If you do this, the Web site will recognize it as a character and therefore will not recognize your information. If you still have problems please call the Member Service Center at 952-442-8850 ext. 208 during regular business hours. > Back to top


How can I update my contact information?
The easiest way is to visit the Members Only section of www.NASSTRAC.org and click "Update My Profile." Fill in the appropriate fields with the new information, and be sure to click update. You cannot change your name (e.g. if you get married) online. Alternatively, members can either call the NASSTRAC Member Services Center at 952-442-8850 ext. 208.
