Welcome to AGA’s Big Easy Member-Get-A-Member Campaign—your opportunity to share the value of an AGA membership with your friends and colleagues, and earn BIG rewards in the process!

Every time you sponsor a new member you enhance AGA. A growing AGA means a greater appreciation of the government accountability profession, improved educational and networking opportunities for all members, and the advancement of government financial management nationwide.

This year with the Big Easy Campaign we've made referring colleagues to AGA easier than ever!

How the Big Easy Works:

1. Click here to download a membership application. You can also order applications by calling the Customer Satisfaction Center at 800.AGA.7211 and/or e-mailing agamembers@agacgfm.org.

2. Tell your peers and co-workers about AGA. Simply encourage them to fill out AGA’s membership application or complete the application online. Be sure to include your name in the sponsor’s name category on the application.

3. You will be eligible to receive a sponsor pin when your first referral joins. 

4. After six of your referrals join (prior to January 31, 2009) you earn free dues during the 2009–2010 membership year.

5. The Big Easy Member-Get-A-Member Campaign will end on April 30, 2009, the grand prize winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
