Good Day Fellow WESTOPers,

 

COE has 3 exciting opportunities that we would like to announce to start immediately!  Please promote and distribute to your respective communities.

 

1.  Welcome Back Campaign

 

Any institution that has not been a paid member to COE since July 31, 2010 is eligible to participate in this campaign.  COE has set a goal for every state (listed in FS2011 Campaign Goals). 

 

The campaign is for states to get institutions/agencies that have not been a member for at least 5 months to rejoin.  If a state reaches it goal, COE will award two persons in the state a $100 gift card (most likely the fair share coordinators but it will be decided state by state).  For example, if KY gets 5 institutions from the non_member report attached, they will receive two $100 gift cards.  Campaign Flyer will be sent out to you later this week.  Not all states are eligible for this campaign, contact me to see if you are eligible.

 

The deadline to make state goals is by March 31, 2011 (no exceptions).

 

2.  10 for 10

 

The 10 for 10 campaign is still going strong.  To recap for new people, the 10 for 10 is a general campaign to get more individuals to give back to COE at a minimum of $100.00 by June 30, 2011.  We encourage individuals to set up a payment plan over the Fair Share year.  The 10 for 10 contribution is attached (Personal Contribution Form).  We have set goals for each state to promote friendly competition.  States who meet their assigned number of people to give over $100.00 by March 31, 2010 will receive up to 2 annual conference registration fee waivers to Fair Share Coordinators or State Presidents.

Individuals can make a one time payment of $100 or make start monthly payments by March 30th that will equate to $100 by June 30, 2011.  Payments must equate to $100 by June 30, 2011 to be eligible for the campaign. 

 

The deadline to make state goals is by March 31, 2011 (no exceptions).

 

3.  $400 Discount for Early Payment

 

If an Institution/Agency’s membership expires between January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011 pays their membership fees before February 15, 2011, they will receive a $400.00 discount, contact me to verify your Institution/Agency’s membership expiration date.  Campaign Flyer will be sent out later this week.

 

PLEASE NOTE:    For anyone that inquires about still giving by the end of the year – for tax purposes – all check/credit card payments need to be in the office by Thursday, December 23.  Otherwise, they will not be entered into the system until January, 2011.
