Each year over a hundred private sector firms take advantage of the prosperous public-private partnership with NAST through the Corporate Affiliate Program, founded in 1986.  These finance professionals are nationally recognized for their expertise, experience and quality business practices.  They understand the complex needs of state treasurers – ranging from investment and pension fund management to debt and cash management functions – and are often the first to provide services to states.

All corporate members are featured in the Corporate Affiliate Handbook, a publication of NAST. The handbook highlights each firm and features each principal corporate affiliate contact person.  It also features the names and addresses of additional contacts and regional offices.  The area(s) of expertise of each firm is identified in a chart for easy reference.

All employees of Corporate Affiliate membership firms receive substantial registration discounts for conferences. Participation by corporate members at the meetings is greatly valued by state treasurers – corporate members are often featured speakers or panelists, and participate in the annual Exposition (or trade show) at the annual meeting.
