[NABS-L] Looking for helpful resources to plan our student division event

[Matthew Gip]

Hi Jessica, 

Here are some helpful resources and advice before starting to plan a social event to recruit new members. First, if you have not done so already, find a venue to hold the event and have a date and time set in stone. Next, create a flyer explaining brief details on the event and then distribute the flyer to different colleges/universities around your state, chapters, vocational rehab, get a list of previous state and national scholarship recipients from your state affiliate President, and finally, before the event, work on getting your agenda planned out, and I would also suggest having some speakers, door prizes and food to reach out to new prospective members and explain what AABS is and encourage them to get involved. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. 

Thanks, 
Matthew Gip
