By Mark Kwandrans, President, PMI Buffalo Chapter

PMI Buffalo is up to 490 members! We have only a short way to go to get to 500 members. I thought I'd take a moment to remind you of our Buffalo 500 Membership Drive. Every time you refer a new member to our Chapter, you’ll both be entered into our “Buffalo 500” drawing. The winning referring member will receive $500 and the winning new member will receive an iPod Nano.

If you refer someone who works for a company with no other members in our Chapter, you’ll each receive two entries in the drawing. There is no limit to the number of new members that an existing Chapter member can refer, so be sure to invite all your friends and colleagues. The contest will be open until we reach 500 members. The prize drawing will take place at the Dinner Meeting after we reach that important milestone.

Central to achieving the Key Strategies of the PMI Buffalo Chapter is an increase in the size of our Chapter’s membership. By growing our membership, we’ll be able to not only attract high-quality speakers and programs, but to increase the awareness of PMI within the community as well. We strongly believe that the people who can best grow our Chapter are its current members, so we're appealing to you to help grow the organization that you enjoy. It's also fitting that we try to reach this milestone in 2010, our 15th anniversary, another milestone.

For the purpose of this Membership Drive, a new Chapter member can only be referred by one existing Chapter member, so when you promote the Chapter to someone, and they join, be sure to tell them to follow this link to log both their name and yours so you both get credit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XHXXFF2

New members without a referring member are not eligible. Board Officers are also not eligible.
