THE GIFT OF MEMBERSHIP

Do you have a special co-worker or friend who is also an administrative professional? If you’d like to do something special for him or her, we have the perfect idea: the Gift of Membership. It’s a great way to introduce your friends and co-workers to IAAP. Maybe it’s a way to help that admin that just got laid off, or as a special gift for your son or daughter who is now a part of the profession.

It’s easy to give the Gift of Membership. You can either mail or fax in the Gift of Membership form or call Headquarters with your information, including payment, and the name and contact information of the recipient. After the membership department gets the information, they will send out an e-mail informing the recipient of his or her Gift of Membership. It only takes a few minutes but gives a gift that lasts an entire year.

You can access the sign-up forms here: http://www.iaap-hq.org/join/gift.html

Don’t let another day go by. Give the perfect gift, the Gift of Membership.

The membership committee directs all activities of the Chapter relating to the recruitment and maintenance of membership. For more information on becoming a member of IAAP and the Presque Isle Chapter, contact Chris DeSantis.

If you're a Division or International Member-at-Large, and would like to transfer your membership to the Presque Isle Chapter, we will be happy to help you. Please contact Chris DeSantis for more information.

The 2010-2011 Chapter Membership Roster will be available to download in the "Members Only" section. The roster is to be kept confidential and not distributed outside of the Presque Isle Chapter. The roster is not to be used by any member for solicitations of any kind.
