Committees
Membership
The membership committee actively recruits new members, retains and reclaims former members, and encourages member participation in chapter, regional, and national NABA activities and events.
Two of our most challenging fiscal year goals is to increase the membership base by approximately 25% and implement long-term proactive membership activities that will attract and retain members from major corporations, accounting firms, recent graduates, and college/university faculty.
The responsibilities of the membership committee is to obtain completed membership applications, collect annual membership dues, prepare and maintain a local chapter database and continuously recruit new members into the organization. The committee also coordinates various member activities such as, the membership breakfast, the membership reception, and the membership phone-a-thon.
