Member Information and Consultation Program (MICP)
The most comprehensive of officiating-related information. MICP has two parts: A free information program handled by the NASO-ON staff and a consultation program through which NASO-ON
can put a member association in contact with an outside professional for an initial free consultation. The need for such outside consultation is determined solely by NASO-ON. Member associations can use the MICP benefit up to three times per year to sort out an officiating-related issue, clarify options or get advice. |

Are You Covered?
NASO-ON Provides Member Associations Two Forms of Optional Insurance Coverage

 |
General Liability
The optional General Liability insurance benefit to all NASO-ON member officials associations. General liability coverage is provided to the NASO-ON member association, its officers, directors, and committee members while acting in the capacity of an officials association, or as an officer, director, or committee member of the association. General Liability coverage also includes claims by reason of error or omission occurring while acting as an officials association or as an officer, director, or committee member of the association. |
Directors and Officers Insurance
NASO-ON now features a competitive, Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance program for not-for-profit local officials associations. D&O insurance will cover the local officials associations, its directors and officers, committee members, and employees for wrongful acts. Wrongful acts include actual or alleged errors or misstatements, omissions, negligent acts, misleading statements, or breach of duty committed by an insured listed above in the performance of his or her duties on behalf of the insured officials association. |

Access to Legal Information

Association Discounts on NASO Memberships
When NASO-ON groups partner with NASO, good things happen for every member of the association. NASO offers special, discounted membership rates when associations bring in new members. Contact NASO at 262/632-5448 or email naso-on@naso-on.org for details on how your association can make NASO membership available for all your members at a discounted rate. |
|
Educational Publications at Discount Prices
Educational resources are vital to the success of any officials association. Referee and NASO publish new materials on a monthly basis. Group discounts of up to 45% are offered to make these publications offered and affordable to your association. NASO-ON members often use the group discount rates to purchase publications for their members. They can then sell the publications for the list price and retain the profits for the association or they can distribute them as part of their membership benefits (often covered by member dues). Either way, it's an excellent way to provide common instructional materials for the whole association. To view books published by Referee and NASO visit: www.referee.com/books/catalog.htm. |
