Help your region win our 2010 "Member Explosion" contest!

A message from Cindy Ishomoto, Membership Explosion Chair

Here is the information you have all been waiting for—how to participate in the membership explosion campaign and help your region win the competition. President Debbie Castagna set our goal to grow the academy membership ranks by 30 new members this year. Growing our membership increases our networking strength, our respect and presence in our industry and our ability to sustain the academy for the future.

We want to encourage each member to think about all of the people in dentistry that you deal with, know of, have worked with, heard about, read about, Twitter or Facebook with and consider sharing information about our Academy and then INVITE them to become a member! There are so many people who do what we do. Wouldn't it be great if they were members so we could all learn from them?

Debbie and I plan a grand celebration for the region members who win this competition, so go forth and INVITE new members so you can be an honored winner at our Academy meeting in Orlando.

Guidelines, rules and so on and such…

1. When you sponsor a member who is approved for membership YOUR region receives the credit!

2. Members must be approved for membership prior to the Orlando meeting.

3. You will be able to check the Explosion numbers on this site and keep tabs on which region is "winning".

4. You will receive nudging, prompting, pushy, emails from the entire membership committee and the marketing committee through out this year: be attentive and open the emails. We will keep you updated on the progress in emails and on this website.

The question of what’s in it for me must always be answered: We will have a thriving organization with a diverse membership that each of us can learn and grow from. You will make new friends that share dentistry as their bond. Our organization has the potential to be even more than we are today by growing our membership. With each person you meet involved in our industry, please consider if they are a potential candidate for membership in ADMC. Thank you all, Cindy
