Your efforts are part of the bigger membership picture. The national NAMA membership committee is working with chapters on recruiting while simultaneously the NAMA office is working on targeted prospecting. With recruiting efforts in place at the local and national level, we hope to increase NAMA membership over the course of the year. It is important as an advocate, that you work with local chapters and the NAMA office and, likewise, you have support when you need it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will I have to do?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll receive membership materials from the NAMA office. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be expected to seek out potential members and lay the groundwork for recruiting members. After making contact, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll coordinate the follow up through the NAMA office. Or you can follow up to &#8220;Close the deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will I get in return?<\/strong><br \/>\nAlong with the satisfaction of helping the organization you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be recognized in the <em>NAMA News<\/em> section of <em>AgriMarketing<\/em> magazine and the <em>NAMA e-news<\/em>.
