Membership Rates
In the beginning, I joined NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists because I thought it was important to show that I supported its central mission. I have remained a member because of all the wonderful people I have met — both incredible friends and professional connections.
I stay an NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists member not only because I support fair and accurate coverage, but I also enjoy the camaraderie among my fellow LGBTQ journalists and media professionals.
