Topgolf is for everyone.

Whether you’re a seasoned golf pro or have never held a club before, it doesn’t matter! There’s no pressure—it’s just a great time. The best part of Topgolf is spending time with a group of great people and getting to know them better—the perfect icebreaker!

You’ll be on a team of six people. All you have to do is swing your club to hit microchipped balls into targets. In between swings, you can relax on the couches or tables near your game and enjoy complimentary drinks and food. How you spend your afternoon is entirely up to you—but we hope you’ll give it a try!

Plus, your participation helps the Student NAMA Careers Program since this is a fundraiser put on by ABEF!

Date: Tuesday, April 10
Time: 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Bus leaves at 1:30 p.m.
Cost: $100 includes golf, drinks and appetizers

We’ve set a goal of 1800 NAMA members by the end of 2018 – 18 in ’18.

Keep up the good work! We are up 20 new members this month. Thanks for your hard work and keep recruiting! 

Our latest membership survey proves that word-of-mouth marketing is the best way to let people know about the great programming and networking opportunities in NAMA.

We challenge everyone in the organization to recruit a new member. Just have your recruit(s) list your name in the “Referred by” field on the registration page https://nama.org/NAMA.OrchardWeb/MemberRegistration/Register. We’ll draw names of “Referrers” each month for a special gift.

We’ll update this chart each month.
