NGWA offers two options for groundwater professionals aged 65 and above who are no longer active in the industry:

  1. Retired or Emeritus Membership: This membership is complimentary under NGWA's Code of Regulations for individuals who:
    • Have been active members of NGWA's Contractors, Manufacturers, Suppliers, or Scientists and Engineers sections for a minimum of 20 years,
    • Are at least 65 years old,
    • Are no longer active in the groundwater industry due to retirement, disability, or other reasons.
  2. Inactive Professional Membership: Available for $75.00/year to professionals aged 65 and above who are no longer active in the groundwater industry but have not yet met the 20-year membership requirement. This membership:
    • Can be purchased annually until the individual meets the 20-year requirement,
    • Alternatively, individuals can pay a lump sum to fulfill the paid membership requirement.

These options cater to professionals transitioning out of active industry participation while still maintaining benefits and connection with NGWA.
