Who are considered the voting members of NAUI?

Voting members of NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) include all active-status and sustaining-status instructor and leadership members. This classification ensures that those individuals who are most engaged and have significant investment in the organization have a direct say in decision-making processes.

Active-status members are regularly involved in teaching and promoting diving education, while sustaining-status members are recognized for their contributions and support to NAUI. By allowing both these groups to vote, NAUI maintains a democratic structure that values the input of experienced instructors and leaders who understand the mission and values of the organization.

This inclusive approach fosters a stronger community and encourages diverse perspectives in leadership and governance, which can ultimately improve the quality and effectiveness of the educational programs offered by NAUI.
