What the AARC Membership Committee Will Do
Each Affiliate will have an AARC Membership committee member assigned as a liaison
We will do visits as well, need to coordinate with Affiliates
Meet by Teleconference every other month Collect and communicate the data to the
Affiliates Award the quarterly member prizes Conduct Student Webinars
Two already held Three more will be done, May/June, September,
November/December
Affiliate Incentive Program
There are two levels to the target We first must achieve the overall target, 46,000 Active members Then Each Affiliate will have a target based on the percentage of
members they have in their state to licensed RTs If you are < 25% of Licensed RTs-need to achieve an increase of 15% If you are < 50% of Licensed RTs-need to achieve an increase of 10% If you are > 50%% of Licensed RTs-need to achieve an increase of 5%
When we reach our overall target, 46,000 Pay out will be a “One Time” Bonus of $1 per member at the time
we reach the target for those Affiliates who have also achieved their individual targets
Those Affiliates that do not also achieve their Affiliate Target will not receive the Bonus
What is the potential?
If all states increased by 5%, we will not make 46,000
We need an average of 9% growth to hit the 46,000
When we reach 46,000, we will be at 28% of our potential
More Campaign Details We are using 12/31/2013 numbers to
determine the individual Affiliate targets We are ready to supply you with the
resources to be successful This campaign depends on you and your
Boards to engage the RTs in your states Remember this is not a one time push
around your State Meetings. It needs to an ongoing campaign.
What can we do to get on track?
Remember our Campaign 2014 goal The GOAL is to engage the affiliates to
have a year-long sustained “GRASS ROOTS” effort to raise the number of ACTIVE MEMBERS in our organization.
Successful campaigns are local campaigns!!!
Each Affiliate needs to have a Membership Committee with a great Membership Chair
This campaign needs to continue focus throughout the whole year
Final Thoughts Each of you need to go back and
engage your teams Utilize your Management Sections if you
have them If each current member can recruit one
new member, we would be incredibly successful
When we reach our goal, we all benefit AARC membership increases
Better support Advocacy More member benefits
State representation increases Reach your targets-Bonus is paid Even if you do not, any increase means
more revenue sharing and you can provide more for your members
IT’S A WIN-WIN CAMPAIGN!!!
