Win $1,000 for your constituency by recruiting the highest number or percentage of members between now and Sept. 30, 2018. The Constituent Recruitment Competition began July 1 and focuses on the half-year dues promotion. AGD Headquarters is asking all constituencies to focus on membership recruitment by highlighting local event information and comradery.

To qualify, constituents must submit a brief description of the membership recruitment initiatives completed July 1–Sept. 30, 2018. Submit your description here before Sept. 30, 2018, in order to qualify for the competition.  

There will be two winners:

1. The constituent who recruits the highest number of active, associate and affiliate members (student members do not qualify) from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2018, will receive $1,000 to be used by your constituency for new membership programming or to enhance existing programs. 
    
2. The constituent who recruits the highest percentage of active, associate and affiliate members (student members do not qualify) from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2018, will receive $1,000 to be used by your constituency for new membership programming or to enhance existing programs. Your percentage increase will be based off of total number of active, associate and affiliate members in your constituency as of July 1, 2018.
