Membership Campaign 2000

This year, for most of us, started like previous years, except of course for any y2k problems that might have surfaced. There were meetings to attend and bills to pay and many other annual occurrences that signal the beginning of the year. One of these signals is the paying of SAF membership dues. Paying of these dues ensures your continued membership in the world's largest professional society for foresters. A society whose ideas and goals we shape and support through our membership. There are many potential members that could not only benefit from membership in SAF but could also provide benefits to SAF. This through their efforts to promote forestry and SAF and by adding to the member resource pool that is vital to the success of any organization. Likely as not you know such a potential member or members. If so give them call and encourage them to join SAF.

KT SAF has decided this year to encourage recruitment of new members by offering an incentive award. Not that any of us need any such incentives, but it couldn't hurt. This award, in the form of a $100 gift certificate, will be presented at the winter meeting in 2001 to the KT-SAF member who recruits the most new members prior to the end of this calendar year. National office records will be used to verify the winner, so be sure and get the applications submitted in time to be included in their records. Student chapter advisors are unfortunately not eligible for this award. However, the student chapter along with the chapter's advisor having the highest % increase in membership will be recognized for their efforts. You also get the added advantage of increasing your brain pool for forestry jeopardy should this enjoyable and entertaining event resurface at the winter meeting.
