We know our current members are the best possible source for new members who could benefit from all the ASA has to offer. With our special member-get-a-member campaign, you can help your association gain greater recognition for the statistics profession and improve educational and networking opportunities for all members. As an added bonus, whenever someone you refer becomes a member, the ASA will thank you with a $10 gift certificate for use toward the renewal of your membership or any products in the ASA Store.
We know many nonmember statisticians have not joined the ASA yet simply because they either haven’t been asked or don’t know about all the ASA has to offer. You’ll see that sometimes just asking a nonmember to join is all it takes.
Here are some recruitment tips from the ASA:
- Be familiar with the benefits of ASA membership.
- Show your enthusiasm and give first-hand accounts of how your ASA membership has been a great investment in your career.
- Identify the best candidates for ASA membership. The key to successful recruitment is asking the right people to join. Your coworkers, young professionals, new employees in your organization, students, and interns are all great prospects and will appreciate that you have gone out of your way to help them with their careers.
- Follow up with prospective members to see if they’ve mailed their applications or joined online.
- Remind your recruits that the ASA sponsors annual conferences and workshops, publishes many publications, and provides a number of career-building resources.
Here are the ways you can help the ASA grow:
- Refer a colleague.
- Print membership applications and deliver them in person. Make sure you include your Membership ID in the Referred By space.
- Direct colleagues to join online right away.
