Membership Reports

PCMA Chapter Member List Guidelines
PCMA chapters have access to their membership list at any time needed for the purpose of communicating chapter business. HQ understands that our chapters sometimes wish to create reciprocal agreements to share lists with another industry association for the notification of an industry event. PCMA NEVER shares emails, phone, or fax so please be mindful of this when arranging to share chapter lists. It is strongly recommended that the PCMA chapter be referred to, on the marketing piece, as a contributor or sponsor of the event in question, or that the PCMA chapter offer to send the marketing piece to PCMA members (rather than sharing the member list). Please click here to for complete information on the member list guidelines and agreements. If you are the designated Chapter List Contact and have read and signed the Member List Policy, you may click here to enter your password and access your chapter member lists.

Recruitment & Retention

Chapter Phone-a-thon Materials
Chapters are encouraged to consider holding CHAPTER member retention/recruitment phone-a-thons.

Chapter Welcome Letters
Consider sending a prospect or new member welcome letter from the chapter president and/or membership chair. In addition to the letter, you could also share a copy of your chapter's upcoming event calendar, or a copy of your last newsletter. If you need ideas on what to include, please view the sample new member letter template by clicking here. This letter is personalized for each chapter and included in prospect kits, unless requested otherwise by the chapter.

PCMA Member-Get-A-Member Campaign

For every new professional, supplier, or faculty member that current members recruit, they'll have the chance to win one of the many great prizes being offered through the Member-Get-A-Member Program.
