Annual NGEDA Membership
Corporate memberships with NGEDA and annual conference attendance are incredible ways to network with the 54 state and territory executive directors and association presidents. This event will give you insight into the commonalities between state associations as well as their differences which will assist you in growing your presence within those states where you currently do business or are looking to expand. It also provides you the opportunity to instruct and give feedback, in coordination with the Corporate Advisory Panel (CAP), to assist state associations in improving their processes and mechanisms as the premier focal point between industry and Guard leadership.

2026 NGEDA DIRCTORY ADVERTISEMENT OPPORTUNITES
Each year we publish and distribute a directory, and are inviting you to consider partnering with us by advertising your company or organization in the 2026 NGEDA Membership Directory. The NGEDA Membership Directory contains a listing of each state’s National Guard Association, which includes contact information for each Adjutant General, Executive Director, Association President, annual conference dates, times, and locations, and insurance program information. In addition, the directory contains information for future NGEDA, NGAUS, AGAUS and EANGUS meetings. The directory is pocket-sized (4” x 7”) for quick and easy reference.
The directory will be sent to each state association. Contributors and advertising partners will receive two complimentary copies. Additional copies are available for a small cost ($10), which includes postage.
The completed directory should be available at the conference in January. If you are interested in partnering, there are several options:
$300 – Business Card Advertisement – simply provide your actual, physical, business card
$500 – Full-Page Advertisement – please provide a press-ready file (see Ad Reservation form for details)
