Recruiting New ARRL Members

We hope that you've taken some time to describe the benefits of ARRL membership to your students. The ARRL Membership Manager has prepared a PowerPoint called "Experience Ham Radio with ARRL"  that you may use to highlight member benefits. 

It's also important to stress the importance of supporting ARRL's efforts not funded by regular member dues. Hams who have the means are encouraged to support programs in their areas of special interest, such as Spectrum Defense, Educational Outreach, W1AW, Historic Preservation.  More informaton about these special funds can be found at  www.arrl.org/funds.
