New for 2027-Premium Membership!
CNEMT is introducing a new PREMIUM membership option for 2027, designed to give members greater flexibility and value throughout the year.

Premium Membership includes access to all eligible educational workshops, learning opportunities, roundtables, and networking events throughout the membership year.

Premium Membership is being offered as a pilot program for 2027. CNEMT will evaluate the program throughout the year and reserves the right to modify its benefits, eligibility, pricing, or terms for future membership years.
