2009-2010 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

At the NFPW San Antonio conference, each of us was challenged to bring in one new member during the coming year. IWPA is going further than that! In anticipation of IWPA’s 125th anniversary next year, we’re pleased to launch an exciting new membership drive.

Here are the details:

• Current Members: Sponsor 3 new members by April 1, 2010, and you will receive special recognition at our May Awards Banquet AND free admission to one regular monthly
meeting.

• Prospective Members: If you come to one of our regular meetings and sign up for a one year full membership that day, your meeting fee is free that day.
