Nebraska Medical Association

What Nebraska Medical Association does

The Nebraska Medical Association (NMA) is a nonprofit professional medical association founded in 1868 and headquartered at 1045 Lincoln Mall Suite 200, Lincoln, Nebraska. It represents physicians across the state through four pillars: legislative advocacy, continuing medical education, membership services, and practice resources. The organization runs a public physician directory of 2,623+ members searchable by name and location, an annual cycle of events including the President's Inauguration & Awards Banquet, an Annual Business Meeting, and segment-targeted gatherings for medical students and residents, and a quarterly publication, the NMA Advocate magazine. It also operates a Foundation that administers scholarships, the Now & Forever Club, and the LifeBridge Nebraska program.

NMA's underlying technology is a GrowthZone-powered member management stack comprising a member portal (log-in, dues payment, event registration), a public-facing physician directory, and an events calendar. This is a commodity association-management SaaS rather than proprietary technology. Programmatically, NMA layers CME, MATE ACT compliance training, Project ECHO, an Integrated Healthcare Project, and the Physician Leadership Academy on top of the platform to deliver differentiated value.

The business model is membership-driven nonprofit economics. Revenue is generated from three streams: recurring membership dues (the primary stream), event registration fees (one-time, including $100 member guest tickets), and a multi-tier annual sponsorship and advertising program (Platinum Plus, Platinum, Silver, Bronze) that funds publications and events. Commercial partners in the sponsorship ecosystem include Copic, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, Union Bank and Trust, CHI Health, Cline Williams, Molina Healthcare, OneHealth, Nebraska Total Care, and Five Nines. The customer base spans licensed physicians (primary segment), medical students/residents/fellows (pipeline segment), and affiliated specialty societies, all served exclusively within Nebraska.
