Groups
NWDA group membership is open to both single and multi-tradition Buddhist organizations, temples, practice groups, and other sanghas in the Northwest region (Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana). While NWDA reserves the right to judge what constitutes a Buddhist group for the purpose of membership, our intention is to be open to all groups dedicated to Buddhist teaching and practice.
Benefits of group membership include listing in the NWDA website Regional Calendar and Group Directory, voting privileges in at-large NWDA Board of Directors elections, use of the Community Bulletin Board, and various discounts on NWDA events and services.
The cost of group membership ranges from $50 to $200 per year based on the size of the member group. Join or renew as a member group, HERE.
