Become a Member

We encourage NATA membership as it includes NATA/GLATA/IATA membership. This all-in-one membership keeps you connected at the national, regional, and state levels. 

As a NATA member, you contribute to advancing the athletic training profession through advocacy, lobbying, and community support. For example, NATA has been instrumental in supporting IATA during challenges such as deregulation threats to our Practice Act. Additionally, starting in 2025, your NATA membership will include the entire EducATe On-Demand Course Catalog—over 150 courses designed to address the challenges you encounter in your daily practice.  You can join/renew your NATA membership by clicking the button below:

If NATA membership is not an option for you, or if Illinois is an additional state membership, we welcome you as an IATA Direct Member. When applying to become an IATA direct member and clicking "Submit", your application goes directly to the Membership Director. They will review it and contact you if they need any additional information. You will receive an invoice from our association management company, Marquardt & Co., to pay your membership dues online. Professional or Associate membership dues are $46, and Student membership dues are $5. Once we receive your payment, our team will confirm that you're a member and share instructions on how to access the Members section of our website.

IATA membership is valid for the calendar year. Your membership becomes active upon receipt of payment.
