Building the future of our profession—together!
As an active member of APSA, you know first-hand the value your membership provides. Member-Get-A-Member is the ideal opportunity to share your success by encouraging your non-member colleagues to join.
Every time you recruit a new member, you help strengthen APSA. A vital and growing membership means greater recognition of the field, improved educational and networking opportunities for members, and the advancement of the professional worldwide.
Recruiting is Easy!
Recruiting a member is easy – when you connect with fellow professionals and students at meetings, online, on the job, or while networking at industry events, simply tell your colleagues how you benefit from your membership with APSA and suggest that they visit www.apsanet.org to learn more about the value of membership. To make it easy for you, we have also created some printable promotional material to help you discuss APSA member benefits.
When they join, they must put your name as the person that “referred” them to join. We will keep track of your recruitment activity for you. It’s that simple.
We have also included a printable version of our membership form for those who wish to mail-in or fax the completed form.
How do I get started?
Talk with your colleagues! Tell them about your experiences with APSA. We also have a few guides and flyers in the "Promotional Materials" tab to help you hone in on the finer points of what we do and why it's important to the profession.
Who is eligible to participate?
