recruitment-grants-awards
The NADE Board sets aside a certain amount of money each year in its budget for membership recruitment grants. Local chapters may apply yearly for these grants to assist in membership recruitment efforts.
Currently, the Membership Director is authorized to grant $50 to individual chapters to help defray costs of recruiting members.
A chapter can apply for a grant by contacting the Membership Director in writing (email is acceptable) and explaining how the grant money will be used. Once reviewed and approved, the Membership Director will direct NADE’s treasurer to send a check to the chapter’s designee (usually the chapter president, membership chair or treasurer).
NADE’s membership director and regional representatives on NADE’s membership committee are ready, willing and able to offer advice and assistance to local chapters in recruitment and retention efforts. They have a wealth of ideas and promotional materials that can be shared, including examples of letters and posters that can be used in local chapters. Please contact any one of the membership committee members if assistance is desired. The Membership Director is listed in the NADE Advocate and on NADE’s web site at: www.NADE.org.
While it is not a requirement, sharing news of successful recruitment efforts with other chapters via communication with the Membership Director and/or the President of the Council of Chapter Presidents is always appreciated.
Chapters (large, medium and small) who do outstanding jobs in recruiting new members are recognized and receive monetary awards at both Regional and National Conferences.
NADE’s strength is its numbers. Chapters are encouraged to apply for grants and compete for membership awards and employ active recruitment efforts to maintain our efficacy as an organization and ensure our voices are heard. Click here to see the criteria for awards.
