The Partnership Program is the backbone of the National Association of Collectors and Association of Collecting Clubs, assisting tens of thousands of collectors and hundreds of collecting clubs.

The Partnership

Partners provide direct support to collectors and collecting clubs by offering discounts on their products and services. Other partners contribute funding for NAC/ACC program operations or provide in-kind services.

Some partners do both.

The Partnership program provides a natural, beneficial relationship for everyone involved. The hundreds of collecting clubs in the antiques & collectibles industry provide the authoritative educational base for many collecting areas. The thousands of collectors who belong to these clubs comprise the core of the serious, dedicated collectors for dozens of collecting areas. These are the audiences which most of our partners want to reach.

Conversely, the collectors and clubs of NAC/ACC are interested in... and need... the products and services of our partners.

The National Association of Collectors and the Association of Collecting Clubs welcome partner support of financial contributions and in-kind services to keep these two associations growing. The support of the Partnership Program helps provide for the very low annual dues structure for both NAC and ACC.

Our partners are an integral part of NAC/ACC operations. We keep partners regularly informed of ongoing programs, and actively seek input from our partners. Partners are heavily promoted in a variety of ways, not only when first becoming a partner, but on an ongoing basis in various electronic newsletters, Collecting Clubs News Service, the Collectors.Org website, in the Collectors Trade Show display advertising section, in the Partnership Program Directory and in various promotional endeavors.

While partners provide support for clubs and collectors through NAC and ACC, a major objective of the Partnership Program is to also provide our partners with the visibility and the sales you may be seeking by joining us.

We encourage our partners - as partners - to help us promote and provide visibility for NAC and ACC, and to be pro-active in all our programs and activities.
