Membership Benefits

The NAACS, whose executive offices are based out of the nation's capitol, is the only association that ensures that military surplus dealers stay in business.   In fact, it's the only association of its kind.   Military surplus aircraft dealers operate in a heavily regulated industry.   There are a myriad of laws and regulations that NAACS members are faced with and must comply with in order for their businesses to lawfully function on a daily basis.   The NAACS not only lobbies on behalf of its members to Congressional offices and agencies such as the FAA, DLA and DoD, but it also keeps its members updated and current on pertinent export, government contract and aviation safety laws and regulations as well as potential legislation proposed that could adversely affect the way they do business.   The NAACS provides its members with these updates through newsletters, emails, direct discussion and various meetings, including its Annual Meeting - a function which invites various officials in the above listed agencies and fields to come and share their insight firsthand with NAACS members, as a means to keep its members businesses profitable and in compliance with the law.  

Your NAACS membership should be considered as an insurance policy that will keep you "in the loop" on important government regulations, changes and proposals that affect the military surplus industry.   Most NAACS members are small to medium sized businesses and do not always have the necessary resources to individually monitor legislation in Congress and in the various Government agencies in order to stay current regarding important regulations that effect their businesses.   Many times, recognition comes too late as small businesses find themselves debarred or suspended from contracting with the Government or others, and/or, possibly facing criminal penalties, not to mention gross, business-crippling fines for non-compliance. The NAACS will help your business stay informed and notified of the laws that effect the military surplus industry.
