Member Get-A-Member Campaign

APA MEMBER GET-A-MEMBER CAMPAIGN 

APA members are the collective voice of psychiatry. By recruiting your peers as members, you are helping to strengthen the future of psychiatry for you and your patients. Most APA members recognize how beneficial their membership is in their professional lives. With this campaign, we rely on you to get the word out about the benefits of APA membership.

From January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the APA will continue its Member Get-A-Member (MGM) Program to encourage members to recruit their colleagues to join the APA. All recruiters will receive recognition and be eligible for special prizes for their efforts.  

Congratulations to winners of a $100 American Express Gift Card as part of the MGM campaign:

          QTR 2 winner: Patrick T. O'Neill, MD, New Orleans, LA
