"Three for Free" Recruit-A-Member Campaign
from AACS
Recruit 3 new physician members to join AACS and we'll waive your dues
payment for the 2009-2010 year.
Did you know that the number one way new members hear about the AACS is through referrals from colleagues? That's why our own members are the strongest ambassadors for promoting the AACS. To continue to grow our membership, we'd like to encourage all of our members to take part in a new member recruitment campaign.
Here's how it works:
1. Recruit three cosmetic surgeons starting May 11 through September 4, 2009, to become members of the AACS. They must complete their application and submit all required documentation. Your name must be the referring physician listed on the application.
2. All candidates must be eligible for physician categories of membership. (Resident membership is complimentary and does not qualify).
3. The candidates must complete their applications by either May 29, 2009 to be presented at the June Board of Trustees meeting or by September 4, 2009 to be presented at the September meeting.
As part of this campaign, we’ll waive the $100 application fee for each applicant!
To have a colleague apply, please forward them this e-mail or direct them to our website at www.cosmeticsurgery.org. They must enter promotional code: TFF09 to waive the $100 fee and then enter your name as the recommending physician. You can also click here for a PDF application to pass along.
You must be the recommending physician in order to get credit. Once all three of your candidates have been approved you'll recieve confirmation from the membership department. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Hill, Membership Services Manager at 312-981-6773 or jhill@cosmeticsurgery.org.
Thank you for spreading the word about the AACS.
