Membership. Dues Invoices for 2025-2026 will be mailed out soon. In order to determine your school’s status, go to the NESSA Directory - https://nessa.hssailing.org/schools
If status says “active”, then your school is all set for this year.
If status is “pending,” this means that the on-line data has been updated but the dues have not been received. Please print out and sign the invoice at the bottom of the page and mail with an appropriate check to the address on the form or you can pay through the NESSA PayPal link on the website.
If status is listed as “inactive,” this means that the on-line portion of registration has not been completed and the dues has not been received. Please:

Some follow up:
Dues and forms are being sent to Bottom Line Bookkeeping in Hyannis. This is the company that we started using ten years ago. If you have a Centerville address or a Hyannis address in your files, those locations are no longer valid and checks sent there will not be received.
If you need updated W-9 information, please e-mail and I will have the bookkeeper send you the appropriate documentation.
For the Fall, dues must be received prior to competing in any high school regattas.
For the Spring, dues must be received by our Annual Meeting. Schools that do not pay dues by that date may be excluded from NESSA regattas including New England Championships and National qualifiers.
Furthermore, there is a late fee applied to schools that don’t pay their dues by November 1st.
Fall ACC qualifiers: In the Spring, the NESSA ExComm accepted the Fall ACC sub-committee’s recommendations for ACC selection.
The big change is that Roy Williams will become the Fall ACC qualifier.
Berths to the Roy can be earned through results at one of 5 fall regattas (Casco Bay Open, Arnold Brown Regatta, Duxbury Fall Invite, Tabor Fall Invite, the Gleekman Trophy).
Registration for all five regattas will be done at the same time on one Google Form posted on the NESSA schedule page.
Registration window opens at 0800 on Wednesday August 27. All schools that register in the first 48 hours will get equal consideration.
Questions can be directed to NESSA VP Rob Russell (russell508@gmail.com) or New NESSA Secretary/Treasurer Gary Werden (gary4619@msn.com)
