Help Transform Careers and Lives by Sponsoring A Member Today
You depend on AGA, and we count on you, too! Sharing the benefits of AGA helps grow careers and AGA’s network of financial management professionals. Nominate your colleagues for AGA membership.
The “Ready, Set, Grow” Member-Get-A-Member Campaign is the new AGA membership recruitment and rewards program running from May 1, 2011 until April 30, 2012. The campaign challenges AGA members to encourage their colleagues, friends and other interested individuals to join AGA during the program year. Current members are the best source for new members who could benefit from all AGA has to offer.
Each member who sponsors a new member is eligible for special recognition and rewards. Here’s your chance to get someone new involved in the personal and professional benefits of your Association.
How the campaign 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 December 31, 2011) you earn free dues during the 2012–2013 membership year.
5. The “Ready, Set, Grow” Member-Get-A-Member Campaign ends April 30, 2012. The grand prize recipient will be announced shortly thereafter.
