About "the Nevada Inventors Association"-

Who, What, When, Where, Why... and How

The association is composed of 78 members that include lifetime members who range in profession and success of patents and innovation. Each and every association monthly meeting is filled with an agenda that includes the following activities: association business, networking, professional training that help the inventor know more about the rest of the business of product and service innovation, visitation by special guest speakers, question and answer -show and tell time; and lastly what we love impromptu presentations by inventors, members, guests, and supporting vendors.

Publications and newsletters are sent monthly to the membership that includes announcements, news, professional information, the association's minutes and meeting agendas. For new and old and inventors, hobbyists, and innovators alike; there are resources available in print and on the Internet.

A great online resource: The NIA archives and articles can be also found at the following link. List of Articles & Archive

Active and Paid Members are allowed into a private membership area where additional resources are available including membership directory, tips, tricks and professional information and contacts. Members invite a guest, Guests give us a call, write a letter or show up and surprise us with your inventor or innovation and see how we can help.

Remember! If you want a secret to remain a secret, don't even tell your friends. Get Protected. Become an NIA member and learn more about how to invent the right way, the fast way, and the most affordable way
