Connect, Collaborate, Contribute: AAS Membership Recruitment Drive

New Deadline: Sunday, September 17, 2023

Members are the strength of the Association for Asian Studies.

As an international network, our organization depends on a vibrant and expanding membership. While our member benefits (including the Journal of Asian Studies and discounts on Education about Asia and conference registration) encourage individuals to join, many do so at the recommendation of a current member (be it a colleague or advisor).

From July 15 to September 10, we will run a campaign for current members to recruit new members into the organization. Current members who recruit new members will be eligible for a number of prizes, based on the number of referrals they generate.

Win Lifetime Membership!

All individuals who recruit a new member will be entered into a drawing for a Lifetime AAS membership (a $2,500 value).

Recruit and Win!

The three members with the most referrals will win a prize!

1st Place

2024 AAS Annual Conference registration for one person

AND

a 3-night hotel stay in Seattle to attend the annual conference

2nd Place

2024 AAS Annual Conference registration for one person

3rd Place

One-year AAS membership for one person


How It Works

When a new member joins AAS, they will be asked how they learned about the organization (see picture). At that point, they should enter your name and email address in the space provided. At the conclusion of the campaign, we will tally all the new members and who suggested they joined. We will distribute prizes in mid-September.

Recognizing that some individuals do not have the resources or capacity to recruit multiple members, any individual who recruits a new member will be entered into a drawing for a Lifetime AAS membership (a $2,500 value).

Terms:

  • All prizes are transferable to another individual
  • Only current members are eligible for prizes
  • Renewing lapsed memberships does not count as generating a “new member”
