National Academy Of Social Insurance

Membership - the academy conducts an annual nomination process, holds an annual meeting, maintains an online database and directory of members, and keeps members (and the public) informed of opportunities to engage with academy events and research.

Leadership development - the academy provides opportunities for young people to enter the field of social insurance. As the primary organization of social insurance professionals, we connect today's leaders with those who will take the reins in coming years. The academy runs five distinct internship programs that each recruit talented students and young professionals and matches them with internship placements where they begin to make substantive contributions at organizations working to strengthen social insurance programs. There are now nearly 500 associate members of the academy - young and mid-career professionals who successfully completed one of the academy's leadership development programs. Past interns are now making significant contributions to social insurance policy research, advocacy, and implementation.
