CWEA Launches Member Get a Member Campaign

Announcements

Membership Has Its Rewards:
One Recruiter Will Receive a $500 Gift Card

Over the course of your career, you’ve experienced first-hand the value of CWEA membership. During the 2020 CWEA Member Get a Member Campaign, encouraging your friends and colleagues to elevate their professional potential via CWEA membership allows us to further reward you – one recruiter will receive a $500 Amazon gift card for their efforts, and every new member you refer increases your chances of being selected!

There is no better advocate for CWEA membership than you. By recruiting new members, you help strengthen our organization and our entire extended family of wastewater professionals.

The 2020 Member Get a Member Campaign runs through November 1, 2020. Each member you refer increases your chances to receive the $500 Amazon gift card reward.

Tips for Recruiting New Members

Recruiting new members is about sharing your membership experience with others.

Here are some suggestions to help you reach out to potential members and encourage them to join CWEA:

• Share your copy of Clean Water with colleagues to show them what they will receive in each issue as a member.
• Publish an article in your facility or agency newsletter about why you belong to CWEA.
• When new employees begin work with your organization, tell them how CWEA can help them succeed in their new role.
• Share the benefits of CWEA membership.
• Forward CWEA emails to your colleagues to let them know how much value and support they will receive as a member.
• Invite a prospective member to attend the Annual Conference or a local CWEA event with you.
• Give a gift of CWEA membership to your staff or colleague.
• Encourage colleagues to become certified with CWEA and share the professional advancement afforded by certification, as well as the discounts for members on continuing education and exam/renewal fees.
