TICKETS
Why is there a different price for NIA Members vs. Non-Members?
Over the years, the NIA has underwritten the cost of the evening. In 2023, the NIA underwrote approximately $30 per person to produce the event. In 2025, the NIA opted to continue underwriting the cost for its members, but to share the actual cost/person with non-members. The event is not a fund-raiser for the NIA, but fiscal responsibility is always a priority of the organization.
