2006-2007 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Fellow members of NAPNES, it is with great pleasure that we introduce a year long membership drive incentive program to you. NAPNES counts on membership revenues to achieve our goals and complete our mission. Members like you are the most effective means for getting new members. So with that thought in mind, here is the incentive program that begins immediately and runs through April 1st, 2007:

In addition to the incentives noted above, NAPNES will print the name of every member who refers one or more new members in each edition of the Journal of Practical Nursing throughout the promotion.

How many of you can get 100+ new members? Many of you can reach this goal. Chances are good that most of the LPNs that you’re working with are not members, so get them to join.

The facility that you work for can be an agency member of NAPNES too. In fact, membership in NAPNES is open to any individual or group that is interested in advancing, promoting and protecting the practical nursing profession. So be creative, go to your local uniform store, nursing agencies, and many others. Not only do agencies get the regular benefits of membership, they also get a free business listing on NAPNES website.

Click here to download a one-page flier that briefly explains some of the benefits of membership in NAPNES. You can use this to help you recruit new members. The bottom half of this flier is a special membership application form that you can use to recruit new members. While it is not a requirement that this form is used, new members must indicated the referring members name on the application form they use to join NAPNES. Referring names cannot be accepted at any other time.

If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to contact our staff, they will be happy to answer your questions and provide you with additional information.

Awards will be offered at the end of the promotion based on the final number of new members referred by the current member. These awards are not cumulative, that is a member will earn only the level that equals the final number of new members referred.

The referring member must maintain current membership in NAPNES throughout the program. Student memberships will not be counted. Associate members referred count as ½ of 1 new member (2 Associates = 1 new member). Life Memberships = 3 new members. Agency Membership counts as 1 new member.

New members must indicate the name of the referring member on their initial application. Referring names will not be accepted after an application has been received. A special membership referral form is available for this program but is not required.

Awards have no cash value and cannot be substituted.

Employees of NAPNES are not eligible to participate in this program.
