The National Society of Accountants for Cooperatives (NSAC) is a professional society, formed in 1936, comprised of approximately 1,500 individual members actively involved with the financial management and planning of cooperative business. Members are able to affiliate with one or more chapters. The Electric Cooperative Chapter is national in scope while the other chapters are geographically structured. Members may choose which chapter(s) they join. Typically members will select the regional chapter from where their primary office is located and if they work for or provide services to an electric cooperative, they will also join the Electric Cooperative Chapter. If their cooperative serves an area that spans several chapter areas, he/she will join multiple chapters to stay current in various regions and make connections in multiple locations.
