be enrolled automatically as a Direct National Member. If this
occurs you may not be able to transfer your membership to our
affiliate until the following year, and will not enjoy the benefits
of being a member of NAPM-San Diego. If you apply for membership
through the affiliate, you will automatically be enrolled as
a member of NAPM-SD as well as ISM.

Diego. Go to our website www.napm-sd.org and click on the apply
online folder on the right. To join NAPM-SD fill out the online

You can also come to one of our monthly dinner meetings and
we will sign you up. Contact our business manager, Jennifer
Adajar, at napmsd@napmsd.org
or at 858.391.1309
- How
do I transfer my ISM membership to NAPM-San Diego?
To initiate the process of transferring from another ISM affiliate
to NAPM-San Diego, fill out an application or email us your
name with professional/address information. Please include the
name of your old affiliate membership number your wish to "transfer
your membership to NAPM-SD". We need the information that
is on the application to insure that both National us have your
up-to-date address information. Do not include money at this
time. You can send the membership information to our PO Box
noted on our website or email it to napmsd@napmsd.org.
In
order to not hold up the transfer process, NAPM-San Diego will
submit the paperwork to ISM in Tempe AZ while we are chasing
the information money with your old affiliate. We will contact
the affiliate you are transferring from and find out your anniversary
date when you last paid them. If you are now at your renewal
time with the old affiliate, we will bill you only for the NAPM-SD
renewing member price of $ 150.00. The initiation fees do not
apply for transferring members.
