Member-Get-a-Member Campaign
ACTFL members: recommend membership to others and earn big rewards
ACTFL Member Surveys repeatedly confirm that the leading reason people join the association is because a colleague or mentor recommended it. As you know, ACTFL membership conveys prestige and ensures that you can stay up-to-date on the latest in language education. Now you can share the love with your colleagues and associated language professionals and get your own rewards for doing so!
ACTFL members that recommend membership to a non-member can earn gifts like free ACTFL publications or gift cards to use anywhere credit cards are accepted!
Recommend ACTFL to a Colleague
