Each representative
will work within their area to ensure that each affiliated society
has an MED team member to assist them in their recruiting efforts.
Don’t delay.
Contact your representative and organize your society’s recruiting
efforts together. The top individual recruiter award is a trip to
next year’s AAPG international meeting in Cancun, Mexico. There
are six monetary awards to the top three U.S. societies and top
three international regions: $1,250 for first place, $1,000 for
second and $500 for third.
Remember,
points are given not only for new applicants but for reinstatement
of former memberships — and even for name referrals in groups of
five.
