Tips for Success
- Start early.
- For fast and easy outreach, send applications by e-mail or post a link to www.nctm.org/membership on Web sites, Twitter, or social networking pages.
- Remember to add your name and member ID number to the "I was referred by an NCTM member" section on the printed or PDF applications so that you will be eligible for the gifts and prize drawing.
- If your institution or district reimburses all or part of the membership dues, be sure to mention that to your contacts.
- When distributing membership applications in person, be sure to mention the benefits of NCTM membership.
- Attach an issue of your NCTM journal with the application if possible to illustrate a benefit of being a member.

- Give the applications to anyone with an interest in, and commitment to, smarter mathematics teaching and learning. Teachers at all grade levels, administrators, supervisors, researchers, curriculum planners, mathematicians, preservice teachers, mathematics specialists, college educators, and parents are just some of the people who could benefit from membership.
- Review the member referral program rules and restrictions so that you can ensure your referrals will qualify.
- Follow up a week later with people to whom you've given applications to see whether they have questions or whether you can help them complete the application.
- Use the contact fostered by the NCTM member referral program as an opportunity to talk with other mathematics educators about the profession.
- Have fun--it's energizing to help others find professional rewards and to make your professional association a stronger advocate for math education for all.
- Remember that the program runs year round, but to be eligible for the current prizes, qualifying referrals must be received by June 30, 2010.
