Order membership brochures and download the
Guidelines for Membership Recruitment from the NSNA website . Provide membership brochures at orientation . Membership brochures are excellent hands-on tools for encouraging potential members to join NSNA . Order early so that you receive them in time for your orientation , access the membership brochure order form . Keep these on hand as well in case you have students who become interested throughout the year or semester .
Get faculty involved ! Ask them to announce when and where you are having local chapter meetings via email or by announcements in class . Faculty members are some of your best resources — use them wisely !
Some other quick tips are to : hold a watch party during one of the membership webinars held throughout the year ; spread awareness about the various NSNA awards and benefits ; send emails to incoming students welcoming them to the school / program and answer any questions they may have ; and finally , continue to record meetings or have a live Zoom link when hosting in-person SNA meetings so that those who are unable to attend in person can stay involved .
