Cleveland Member Recruits 75 New Members to Earn Recruiter of the Year Honor

AGA’s Big Easy Member-Get-A-Member competition results are in, with the top honor going to Stephanie Kay Paschel of the Cleveland Chapter. By recruiting 75 new members this year, Paschel has earned the distinction of Recruiter of the Year. She will also receive a complimentary AGA national meeting registration. Congratulations!

Word of mouth is one of the main ways we recruit new members, so the Member-Get-A-Member campaign is a crucial part of AGA’s annual membership drive. Our members understand that our strength is not only in the quality of membership but also our numbers—more members means more resources and knowledge for everyone.

The competition this year was very tight and we even had a tie in the Top Sponsor category.  The next members earning Top Sponsor distinction are Eva Williams, CGFM, CPA, of AGA’s Washington D.C. Chapter with 60 new members, and tied for second place were Tim Baker of the Lincoln Chapter and Leanna Abele, CGFM, of the Central Ohio Chapter with 41 new members each. Our Top Recruiter of Early Career Members is Lindsey Foell of AGA’s Greater Columbus Chapter with 16 new members. Great job!
