The National Tax Sheltered Accounts Association (NTSAA) is the nation's only independent, non-profit association dedicated to the 403(b) and 457 marketplace.  The NTSAA was formed in 1989 and has grown to include practitioners, agencies, corporate and employer members. The NTSAA's mission is to provide high quality related education, technical support, information resources and networking forums for all professionals involved in the 403(b) and 457 marketplace.

In December of 2009, NTSAA members voted to combine operations with American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA). When the combination agreement takes effect in January of 2010, the NTSAA will operate as a semi-autonomous division under ASPPA, retaining its name and brand identity.  For NTSAA, the new structure will provide its members with greatly needed representation on Capitol Hill.  NTSAA membership is open to anyone with a strong interest in the issues and opportunities in the 403(b) and 457(b) marketplace.
