New NLN Membership Platform
First, we would like to sincerely thank our currently active membership community. Special thanks to loyal NLN members who supported us us through our transitional years 2016-2020. We have started to build a new membership platform that will offer a modernized, more sophisticated look to our Lymphedema Therapy Directory. It will additionally offer a members-only section of resources, a set of members-only discussion boards, and more. Along with this new membership platform will be a new membership fee structure commensurate with the value the organization offers. If you would like to take advantage of the currently lower membership fees, you have the next couple of weeks to do so. Again, we thank you for your membership support and hope that everyone is staying safe and happy.
