The members of NAUIAP are committed to continuous improvement of the unemployment insurance appellate process by providing continuous education, sharing best practices, and assuring the due process in all aspects of appellate review.

Associate Membership is for an individual who is a former member no longer eligible for active membership; a governmental employee involved in legal affairs related to the UI appeals process; involved in administration of UI appeals; a non-governmental party involved in administration of UI appeals and/or representing/advising claimants and/or employers in UI appeals hearings/matters.
The annual NAUIAP conference has become a national event that provides a rich educational experience for those who attend. The agenda of each conference always addresses the difficult and “hot” topics facing the UI program.
