2004-05 Recruitment Campaign - Leadership for the Future
AGA’s National President, Bobby A. Derrick, CGFM, is challenging
every member to recruit at least 1 new member into AGA before the
close of the membership year, April 30, 2005. And, he is challenging
AGA Leaders to do even more—to recruit five new members each before
the close of the membership year, 5 by 5.
This group includes the National Executive Committee, Regional Vice
Presidents and Elects, Regional Coordinators, national board and
committee members, chapter presidents and chapter membership chairs.
Are you up to the challenge?
In an October email
President Derrick wrote, ‘I believe the best marketing tool for
membership is our own experiences. My presidential theme,
Leadership for the Future, includes in its message,
sharing the AGA story with others through the personal touch. I am
talking about a quick call, a conversation at a meeting, or an
email. A little investment in your time will go a long way in terms
of helping to strengthen AGA. We know your time is valuable, but in
as little as five minutes, you can help a colleague or friend
achieve their professional goals by sharing the AGA advantage.’
We need your help to
ensure that the AGA network remains strong and continues to grow to
reach all accountability professionals! Do you realize how unique a
network AGA is? AGA is the ONLY professional association that boasts
a membership across ALL levels of government – local, state and
federal. Plus, AGA also has members who work for tribal governments,
academic institutions and private sector organizations. This means
that there are thousands of thoughts, ideas and solutions right here
within the AGA network – as a member you have number one access! And
as our Association strengthens and grows, so do the thoughts, ideas
and solutions.
AGA Dollars Will Be
Awarded!
Back by popular demand
are AGA Dollars! Once you have recruited two new members, earn $5
AGA dollars for each new member that joins. AGA dollars can be used
for a variety of AGA activities – even towards your membership dues!
All AGA members who recruit new members are eligible for AGA Dollars
(Dollars will be awarded at the close of each month and listed on
the Members Only site on the ‘Recruitment’ page.).
