A: The N.C.E. was formed in 1996 by former politicians, public servants, attorneys and business leaders to address the needs of micro-business through political advocacy and lobbying. Eventually we realized a more proactive approach was required and we added our own package of member benefits to supplement our other efforts.

Who is eligible for
Membership?

A: Membership is open to anyone who agrees to adhere to the N.C.E. controlling principles and by-laws. While not all benefit packages are available to all people – we offer packages for every category of individual and business, from the sole proprietor to the largest company.

How Are You Different
From other Associations?

A: Unlike most associations run by brokers and are in the business of selling insurance, the N.C.E. is a political advocacy group qualified to offer its members large group products under state law.

A: The annual Membership fee to join the N.C.E. is $40.00 per year. This fee goes to defer our administrative costs and fund our political advocacy projects. The cost of the benefit plans varies depending upon which plan members select. The savings on any one of the dozens of benefits available to our members easily exceeds the annual fee.
