2. Use of Membership Directory.

NACBA does not provide member e-mail addresses to any outside party, including members of NACBA, except as allowed through the Member Directory on NACBA’s web site, the electronic directory, and to exhibitors at our national conference with the permission of the member. A member grants permission and provides his/her email address to an exhibitor by allowing the exhibitor to scan the barcode on the member’s name badge. E-mail addresses are not to be sold to outside organizations or provided to advertisers, affinity partners, or member benefit vendors. NACBA and its chapters will use a member’s e-mail address to communicate items of news and interest to members and for inclusion in our member directory.
