ARNOVA seeks to build a community of inquiry and discourse about research and teaching on voluntary action, nonprofit organizations and philanthropy. We recognize the value of having smaller communities organized by common interests within the larger Association to nurture members and relationships in this work. To foster this we support the organization and operations of these smaller groups in the ways described here.
Note: ARNOVA will award each section 2 conference registrations (either member or non-member) to invite participants to the annual conference. If the invited guest is not already a member, sections can either purchase membership for the participant or register them as a non-member attendee.
Signing up for sections can be done while completing your initial membership registration process. If you are already a member, contact us to sign up for sections while renewing your membership. Dues are $12 per section.
If you prefer to mail in your registration with a check as form of payment, click here.
