AGA's 2007-08 Member-Get-A-Member Campaign - We Have a Dream

We Have a Dream at AGA—Help Make it Happen and Be Rewarded in Atlanta!

AGA has a dream. We have a dream of a stronger, more visible Association that can serve you better. AGA has a vision of an Association with more power to help you achieve your professional dreams. You can help make that possible—and be rewarded for it too! How? Participate the We Have a Dream campaign and you’ll find yourself eligible for fantastic prizes, including AGA Dollars, Bose audio equipment, meeting registrations and get-aways!

Every time a new member joins AGA, we are made stronger. More members mean a greater ability for AGA to help you achieve your professional aspirations through excellent educational programming and top-notch networking. Don’t forget—your dreams for your career are our dreams. We are committed to helping our members reach their professional goals.

We invite each AGA member to recruit at least one new member in this year’s Member-Get-A-Member Campaign. Show off your enthusiasm with firsthand accounts of how your AGA membership has been a great investment in your professional development and career! The excitement is contagious. AGA is on track to have a positive net growth of membership for the third year in a row, and with your help we can do it. Remember, EVERY member who sponsors new members is eligible for prizes and recognition in the We Have a Dream campaign.

Why you? We have found that the majority of new members join AGA because a colleague recommended membership to them. You probably do this frequently, maybe without even realizing you are officially “recruiting.” Just be sure to have handy an AGA membership application or know the AGA website address (www.agacgfm.org). And don’t forget to include your name in the ‘sponsor’ line on the membership application to receive credit!
