Dear NOVA Member,

We are reaching out with an important update about your membership in the Nurses Organization of Veterans Affairs (NOVA).

As you may know, payroll deduction for NOVA membership dues has been discontinued due to recent Executive Orders affecting organizations across the VA. While NOVA is a 501(c)(6) professional association—not a labor union—this change impacts how your dues are collected.

Good News — We’ve Made the Transition Easy!

To ensure there is no interruption in your benefits, NOVA has developed a quick and easy process for updating your membership. We are transitioning to a secure online payment system.

🔹Your Voice on Capitol Hill
