Have You Asked Your Colleague to Join AAPG?

Need help asking your colleagues? Share the AAPG Benefits Pyramid.

You are a professional. You are a member of AAPG.

As such, you are at the top of the membership value pyramid and receive the advantages of being part of a professional community -- from the monthly BULLETIN and EXPLORER to discounts on top-quality scientific books, continuing education, meetings and a number of other benefits, from insurance to car rental discounts.

Congratulations.

But is your colleague in the next office a member?

How about the person you are dining with at the next local geological society meeting?

One way to find out is if they are always asking to borrow your EXPLORER.

Another way is to just ask them.

The leaders in the AAPG Membership Drive contest have found the best way to recruit new members -- they just ask. Then provide an application, available online or by calling AAPG headquarters. It's as easy as that.

AAPG's membership drive runs through the end of April. Just a few of those questions and actions can win you a trip to the 2003 AAPG international meeting in Barcelona.

All recruiters will get AAPG "stuff," including a desk flag and lapel pins for those who recruit three or more. Top recruiters in each Section and Region will be awarded $250 AAPG dollars.

It will be the top recruiter who will receive a travel voucher, four nights lodging and registration fees for the Barcelona meeting.

There is much value to be gained by being a member of AAPG.

So, just ask a colleague to join.

You'll be doing both of you a favor.
