[nabs-l] Role of a student division

[Jim Reed]

Arielle,

Thanks for clearing up the confusion about who is eligible for NABS and its state affiliates. 

One question though. In Montana, recruiting the 20-somethings, non=students would be a good way to boost MABS membership (and MAB/NFB membership as well), but I wonder if this couldnt cause an age related problem amongst the older state affiliate members. How do we avoid becoming the young persons alternative to local chapter participation? Is this even a problem if we becoming the young persons alternative to local chapter participation? The other issue is marketing. We can't exactly say "If you're under 40, join our Division!!!", so how to be market it to attract the young, while not explicitly excluding the old?

Thoughts?
Jim
