Page Text: Why did I get a Membership solicitation when I'm already a member?
Sometimes, no matter how we try to prevent it from happening, you may receive an invitation to join the U.S. Naval Institute by mail or email, even though you are currently a member in good standing. Why? Our database sometimes fails to match your name and address, as it appears on the mailing, with the name and address under which your membership is recorded. This situation can occur due to misspellings, issues of home versus business addresses, or nickname versus proper name, changes of address, or a variety of other reasons.
If you receive a membership invitation in error, please mark "Already a Member" on the application and return it to us in the provided envelope. This will ensure we don't continue to mail membership solicitations to this address.
