Member information

When members join NYWEA, they provide the association with certain information about themselves. Paid membership runs for 12 months with a two month grace period. After that, records are transferred to delinquent status. Non-members who make purchases from NYWEA, attend conferences or otherwise transact business with NYWEA also share some identifying information. Some of this information, which might include your name, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, employer identification and NYWEA membership number, is placed in a database that is an internal part of this Web site. The database is used to:

  • help the site itself identify members of NYWEA for access to members-only functions,
  • help NYWEA staff and officers communicate official business of the association with the members, and
  • facilitate appropriate communications between members themselves and between members and NYWEA staff.

Transactions conducted through the Web site also results in the storage of the data submitted during those transactions.

If you return later, you will have to enter your number again to identify yourself before that feature can work for you again.) If you do not remember your membership number, please contact NYWEA to obtain it.
