About
NSSA
The Northeast States Sign Association
(NSSA) is focused on listening to the voice
of our member sign professionals and on
making that voice heard on the local and
national level.
NSSA has partnered with the International
Sign Association (ISA) to be the ISA
Affiliated Association representing sign
professionals in Connecticut, Delaware,
Eastern Pennsylvania, Greater Washington,
D.C., Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island and Vermont. Sign companies who
join NSSA become members of ISA and
share in the benefits of both organizations.
Sign product manufacturers and
representatives, suppliers, distributors, sign
support service companies and sign end
users may join NSSA directly.
We invite you to become a member
of NSSA and add your voice to our
community of sign professionals.
What is NSSA?
NSSA, Northeast States Sign Association,
was formed in 1995 to bring both large
and small sign companies in the Northeast
together. NSSA has partnered with the
International Sign Association, ISA, to
be the ISA Affiliated Association in the
northeast. Today, as a unified group, the
voice has become strong and continues to
grow each year. Members are active and
learn from one another.
There are many opportunities to get
involved with NSSA. A highlight of our year
is the Annual NSSA Expo. This sign show
brings exhibitors from many states together
to showcase new products in the industry,
as well as sessions designed to educate
and inform. It has become the Premier
Sign Expo in the Northeast and is highly
anticipated.
What does my membership
do for me?
Sign companies who join NSSA also
automatically become members of ISA and
share in the benefits of both organizations.
This provides the opportunity to remain
relevant and vibrant with your business
knowledge and networking ability through
two vital organizations, one national and one
regional.
What benefits I can expect?
Networking, sign-code assistance, technical
guidance, education, research, and much
more. You also have the ability to network
with your counterparts throughout CT, DC,
DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT. You
become a member of a community of sign
professionals working together to promote
safety and professionalism in the sign industry.
Our members have the opportunity to learn
more, which enhances their creativity, grows
their businesses and allows them to become a
