Membership

Anyone who is employed as academic or administrative faculty with at least a 0.5 FTE contract is eligible for membership. This includes, but is not limited to, teaching faculty, department chairs, professional library faculty, counselors, and any professionals who do not supervise other eligible employees, manage confidential information, or report directly to college leadership. 

All full-time TMCC faculty employees who meet the eligibility requirements are represented in the TMCC-NFA collective bargaining unit. Dues-paying members, however, have the additional rights of providing input to the collective bargaining process and voting privileges on contract ratification.

Your TMCC-NFA membership gives you exclusive access to the expertise of staff, members, and leaders in the NFA, AAUP and AFT. 

Members also enjoy a variety of member-only advantages, available through our national affiliates. These include retail and travel discounts, educational programs, mortgage services, and special offers that add up to substantial savings. Affiliate insurance programs offer a wide variety of products to further enhance the value of your membership.

Membership in TMCC-NFA shows that you care for your profession, your colleagues, and your students. The TMCC-NFA contract guarantees that professional employees have appropriate support and representation in workplace issues. TMCC-NFA members have the additional benefits of legal guidance for workplace disputes and access to a legal defense fund based on a case's merits and circumstances. 

Your membership also gives you the ability to engage with NFA representatives who are registered lobbyists at the Nevada Legislature. They are the only individuals directly advocating on behalf of higher education professionals at all levels of government.
