Membership in the Vertical Section is open to all NSS members demonstrating an interest in the objectives of the organization and agreeing to abide by its tenets. Membership shall not be denied due to race, sex, religious affiliation, or national origin.
Membership Requirements and Dues Have Changed !!!Full Membership in the Vertical Section is open to all NSS members in good standing. Members can vote, hold office, and participate in all Section activities. They also receive access to the on-line Nylon Highway, plus any other publications, as authorized by the Executive Board of the Section. The Membership consists of those who attend an annual General Meeting and/or the Vertical Session at the annual NSS Convention and who sign the roster with their name and email (or regular) address. Membership can also be obtained by mail or by registering on the Vertical Section on-line Yahoo group. The duration of membership shall be 5 years from the last meeting attended or last on-line group registration, if the member's dues are not in arrears.
Subscriber Status is open to Non-NSS members or groups. Subscribers are entitled only to receive Vertical Section publications. Subscribers may register by attending the VS General Meeting or Vertical Session at the annual NSS Convention or by registering by mail or on the Vertical Section on-line Yahoo group. The duration of subscriber status shall be 5 years from the last meeting attended or last on-line group registration, if the subscriber's fees are not in arrears.
The Vertical Section On-line Yahoo Group is not a forum on Vertical Caving, but is intended to be used as a communication mechanism from the Vertical Section Executive Board to the membership. The Yahoo Group will allow the Board to easily send out group messages, if necessary. Once their Membership Application is received, new Section members will be invited to join the Yahoo Group. The Nylon Highway is now distributed primarily in electronic format (on this website). Each article will be posted on the website at the time it's received, to ensure timeliness of the information. An "Annual Volume" of the Nylon Highway will consist of all articles submitted during that calendar year. The electronic version will remain on the website indefinitely. Access to the electronic version will be by password, provided upon payment of dues or subscription and valid for the term of dues paid. Printed Annual Volume The printed copy of the "Annual Volume" of the Nylon Highway must be ordered separately for $10.00 per copy, at the address given below.
