Professional Memberships

This clarifies North Carolina A&T State University’s obligations regarding memberships in professional organizations.

North Carolina A&T State University maintains memberships in professional associations, organizations, and societies for legitimate business purposes and to benefit the University. Such memberships provide access to professional literature relevant to University interests, enable participation in professional training opportunities for faculty and staff, facilitate networking and exchange of ideas among professionals, and offer other advantages that support the University’s mission.

When the University benefits from an individual’s membership, that benefit must be tied to the individual’s position within the University rather than to the individual personally, regardless of who holds the position.

Procedure
Employees may use their P-Card for professional membership fees.
