Awards & Guidelines

The guidelines are simple and the awards are well worth the effort...not to mention the reward of helping SLA and mentoring a colleague!


AWARDS

  • GRAND PRIZE: TOP SLA NEW MEMBER RECRUITER
    2009 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO Package

    The top recruiter of the campaign will receive free registration to the 2009 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO in Washington, DC, 14-17 June 2009. This will be a special conference because SLA is celebrating its Centennial. The winner will also receive a half-day CE course of their choice during the Conference.
     
  • FIRST PRIZE
    SLA Membership Renewal good for one year membership renewal

    The First Prize to be awarded to the SLA member who is selected from every member who recruits at least one new paid membership, received no later than 31 December 2008. The winner will be announced at Leadership Summit in Savannah, GA USA and on the SLA Web site before 1 February 2009.
     
  • PRIZES FOR EVERY RECRUITER
    Membership in the President's Club!

    All members who recruit one new member or more will receive a President's Club lapel pin and become members of the President's Club, a special designation signifying your commitment to SLA.
     
  • CHAPTER & DIVISION PRIZES: 2 PRIZES EACH
    Two SLA 2009 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO registrations and two copies of the 2008 SLA Annual Salary Survey & Workplace Study. These prizes will be awarded to one Chapter and to the one Division with the most new members and the largest percentage increase in members. Winning Chapter Presidents and Division Chairs will determine the SLA Member to receive each prize.
     
    One SLA 2009 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO registration will be awarded to the Chapter and one to the Division whose members recruit the largest total number of new recruits during the SLA member-get-a-member campaign period from 1 October through 31 December 2008.
     
    One copy of the 2008 SLA Annual Salary Survey & Workplace Study will be awarded to the Chapter and one to the Division whose members recruit new members that increase the total Chapter or Division by the largest percentage increase during the SLA Recruit-a-Member Campaign period.

    (The percentage increase will be based on the number of members listed in the Chapter or Division as of 1 October 2008, and the total number of members listed in the Chapter as of 31 December 2008.)

GUIDELINES

  • All SLA current members in good standing may participate and are eligible to win prizes. Only SLA members can participate.
     
  • To receive credit for each new member, the referring SLA member's name must appear on the printed or online application.
     
  • All new SLA member applications along with membership dues must be received no later than 31 December 2008, to be counted. Applications dated or postmarked after that date will not be considered.
     
  • The earlier you start recruiting the better. In case of a tie in the number or percentage of new members recruited, the new member application with the earliest date will be the tie-breaker in the prize award.
     
  • Prizes will be announced and awarded by SLA no later than 31 January 2009. Winners will be notified and results will be posted on the SLA website.
     
  • By participating in the campaign, members agree that the decisions and guidelines outlined by SLA are final and not open to challenge.

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. The number of entries received determines the odds of winning. All federal, state, and local laws apply. Void where prohibited. SLA reserves the right to change the prizes offered
