Membership Month Activities

Member-Get-a-Member Campaign & ContestMember-Get-A-Member Recruitment

March 2023 brings our 7th 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 2023 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!
