ASSOCIATION NEWS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE REFER A NEW MEMBER TO AAMD AND WIN $100 TOWARDS AAMD EVENTS! MEMBERSHIP CHALLENGE RUNS THROUGH May 7 THE AAMD MEMBERSHIP CHALLENGE IS ON AND OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: 100 NEW MEMBERS IN 100 DAYS. Now is the best time to join the Apartment Association, as each year during our membership drive, we offer great discounts for New Members. This year, AAMD is rewarding referrals with $100 of AAMD Bucks for any new member who joins. It's simple to get credit for new members you refer! When the new member fi lls out the AAMD application online, they must put down your name in the Application where it asks: "If a Current Member Referred You, Please Specify Below." This is the best time to join AAMD, as we have lots of great discounts for new members ONLY during this membership drive! HERE ARE A FEW IDEAS ON HOW YOU CAN RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS: • Use social media! Post referral posts on your personal and company accounts, and just make sure they reference you in the referred section of their application. • Reach out to your suppliers/vendors that are not members. Members use members because supplier members support the Multi Family Industry. • Reach out to family members, friends and clients that own rental property. Our legal handbook and forms are just a few of the great benefi ts they will enjoy as members. • Do you have sales people contacting you for business? Your fi rst question should be “are you a member of the Apartment Association?” Again, members use members. www.aamdhq.org WHAT IS "AAMD BUCKS"? An "AAMD Buck" is simply credit towards any AAMD program, event, sponsorship, etc. You can use it towards anything like a PowerLunch, your Trade Show booth, continuing education, credentials, advertising and more. Please note this credit cannot be used for third party programs (Career Center, online forms, etc) or membership dues. JANUARY 2020 TRENDS | 11
