At the recent 2011 NGAUS Conference held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, NGAMA was recognized as the state with the Most Improved Membership. The award was presented to NGAMA during the Conference Business session. At the Conference registration deadline in July, NGAMA’s membership had soared to 80%, a 17 point increase from the previous year. Throughout the fall we continued to collect 2011 dues as NGAMA began to approach the mid 80% level. We hope our 2012 Membership Drive will continue this success as we look at approaching the 90% threshold. Congratulations to President Dan Knight, Membership Chairmen Nick Macsata and the members of the Membership Team!
