The National Association of Senior Advocates Member Vetting Process

At the National Association of Senior Advocates [NAOSA], we prioritize professionalism and integrity in every aspect of our operations. Our thorough vetting process ensures that our members uphold the highest standards of excellence, providing peace of mind to consumers and professionals alike. To become a member of NAOSA, a business or professional must meet the following criteria:

  1. Background Check: We conduct a background check via BeenVerified.com for individual members, which includes a criminal background check and bankruptcy screening.
  2. Better Business Bureau (BBB) Screening: We screen for outstanding or multiple complaints through the Better Business Bureau to ensure a clean track record. Businesses shall maintain a minimum ‘B’ Rating from the BBB at the time of application if applicable.
  3. Experience: Members must be actively licensed for at least one year prior to application.
  4. Professional License Verification: Members must provide a professional license(s) to ensure they are legally qualified to offer their services.
  5. Continued Monitoring: To maintain the highest standards of professionalism, our individual members are continuously monitored via the BeenVerified.com system.
  6. Adherence to NAOSA Gold Standards: Members must adhere to the NAOSA Gold Standards of Professional Practice for their industry. Failure to uphold these standards will result in censorship and membership revocation.
  7. Telephone Interview: The majority of members are interviewed to confirm their business philosophy aligns with NAOSA as well as to confirm NAOSA membership criteria.

This vetting process exemplifies our commitment to excellence and integrity, fostering a trusted community for both consumers and professionals.
