AGA Member Benefits
AGA Membership Application

Show your enthusiasm
Show your enthusiasm with firsthand accounts of how your AGA membership has been a great investment in your professional development and career. When sharing your story, tell them why you joined, how long you have been a member, the benefits you receive and how they can join.

Send them to the website
Show potential members the value of AGA membership by sending them to the website. The website contains valuable information on AGA member benefits, current trends and issues in advancing government accountability, as well as the opportunity for potential members to join online.

Follow-up
Following up with potential members is just as important as the initial contact. Call them, e-mail them, or drop by to see if they have sent in their AGA membership application or have any questions. Take the opportunity to reinforce the many benefits including world-class education courses, audio conferences and CGFM courses.

Thank them
Send a handwritten note or e-mail thanking the potential member for considering membership in AGA. The more contact they have with you, a current AGA member, the more likely they are to join.
