Memo to: Chapter and Division Presidents 

From: Frank Coppel, President 

Subject: Membership Coins

 

Dear Colleagues: 

 

            As was reported at the beginning of this year in various
Positive Notes, our national office required each state affiliate to submit
a spread sheet listing chapters and their dues paying members with their
up-to-date contact information. Once the national office received this
information, dues paying members listed on the spread sheet would be
receiving a membership coin which will signify you as a member of the NFB.
This membership coin is replacing the membership cards once used by our
national organization.  During the next seven days, we are mailing each
chapter and division president membership coins to be distributed at your
next chapter or division meeting.  Only those names of individuals who were
initially submitted to the state office as dues paying members shall receive
a membership coin.  Those persons who were not included on the original list
of dues paying members provided to the state office at the beginning of the
year, will need to fill out a new membership form which can be found online
at https://www.nfb.org/civicrm/newmember/form. This form is meant to be used
by the designated person in your chapter or division such as the membership
committee chairperson.  If you feel assistance is needed to complete this
form, you can call David Houck at (803) 254-3777 and he can help you with
the new membership form.  The online form will (1) ensure that the NFB's
central Connections database has all member information; (2) trigger welcome
emails to go to the new member; (3) notify affiliate presidents of new
members; and (4) prompt mailing of the new-member packet, which will include
a print/Braille membership certificate and the membership coin.  

            If you have any questions or concerns regarding this new
membership initiative, please contact David Houck at (803) 254-3777 or
nfbsc at sc.rr.com.  You can also contact me at (803) 796-8662 or
frankcoppel at att.net.  

 

Sincerely, 

Frank Ccoppel
