30 or more points for their portfolio will be invited
to submit at least three dolls for a vote by the
full membership. Election is by majority. Artists

NIADA Standards
It is highly recommended that
artists interested in membership attend a conference
before deciding to apply for membership, if possible.
This allows the applicant to meet NIADA Artists,
get an idea of the responsibilities and involvement
required of membership, and to assess the standards
of NIADA. The applicant must attend
the conference and do CRITIQUE the year they apply
or apply the year after attending conference.
Artist members are expected
to participate in NIADA activities and help with
the requirements of keeping the organization functioning,
both at the annual conference and other times during
the year. Annual dues are $50.
