2024 Membership Month Activities
Member-Get-a-Member Campaign & Contest
March 2024 brings our 8th annual ONL Member-Get-a-Member recruitment campaign and contest! Throughout the month of March, members will score a point for each new member or renewing member they refer. At the end of the month, the member with the most points will win our Grand Prize - registration and hotel accommodations for our 2024 Annual Meeting! All others who have scored points will be entered into a drawing to win one of two Runner-Up Prizes - registration to the Annual Meeting. Each point serves as one entry into the drawing, so the more people you refer, the better your chances to win!
Members will receive more details by email. Please check your inbox.
