SCOAR's Power of Connections

MEMBER-GET-A-MEMBER CAMPAIGN

The
Campaign

As the backbone of our association your passion, dedication, and firsthand experience make you our best advocates. We believe the growth our association depends on our collective efforts. SCOAR’s Member-Get-A-Member Campaign is about sharing your membership experiences with others and encouraging them to join. We’ve put together this toolbox to give you tools to be successful. Every small effort counts, and your involvement can make a significant impact on our success. By working together, we can strengthen our association and create an even more enriching experience for all members.

How it works*

The Campaign ... in Three Simple Steps

Let Us Do the Work for You!

If you would like us to invite a prospective member to join on your behalf. Simply complete the online Referral Form, and we’ll send a personal invitation to join. If the company joins during the campaign period (September 1-October 31), you will receive credit for the referral.

Spread the Word

Share your membership story through emails, social media, or networking events and encourage them to be a part of SCOAR.

Step 1

Refer Prospective Members

Send prospective new members to SCOAR's Membership Application to apply for membership or complete the Referral Form, and we will take it from there.

Step 2

Earn Rewards

Have prospective members complete list you as their referral.

Step 3

*You must be a SCOAR member in good standing to participate. A member’s name must be listed as the referral; company names are not accepted. Rewards are calculated based on NEW memberships gained from September 1-October 31.

It's That Simple!
