Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Quick Start Promo?

The Quick Start Promo runs from September 2007 through November 2007. The member with the highest number of recruits for the three month period will receive a free 2008 NSA Convention registration for New York City. If a referral's application is approved prior to September 1 or after November 30, it will not qualify as a Quick Start Promo recruit.

What is the difference between a referral and a recruit?

A referral is someone who is interested in NSA membership, but has not yet applied. A referral becomes a recruit when the person applies for membership, is accepted and has made the financial investment in NSA.

What earns me my backstage pass for the special reception, television network and a ticket into the grand prize drawing?

It is the recruit that earns you your backstage pass and a ticket into the grand prize drawings. If you have 10 referrals and five of those referrals join NSA, you will receive five tickets into the drawings.

What if I referred someone and their join date is June 30, 2007?

The campaign began on July 1, 2007, therefore anyone recruited prior to July 1 will not count toward the campaign.

If I recruit an Academy member does that count toward the member recruitment campaign?

No. Only NSA professional member recruits qualify in the Speaker 2 Speaker campaign.
