MEMBERSHIP - Just Do It!
by Debi Gardiner, Membership Chair

WHAT A WONDERFUL AND EXCITING new time! We are about to welcome in the New Millennium and it is the perfect opportunity to recruit new members. As of December 1999, our total membership is 1954. I am happy to report that each region showed an increase. Congratulations! As we prepare for the 21st Century, let’s all keep in mind that membership recruitment and retention plays a major role in NADE’s success. Several chapters are taking advantage of this unique (once in a lifetime!!!) situation by having a Millennium Recruitment drive. What a great idea! Remember, any chapter may obtain a membership grant of up to $50.00. To receive a grant for your chapter, simply contact me at (850) 897-4455 or email to BRDebi@aol.com - or any one of the following Regional Membership Committee members listed below.
