RECRUIT A MEMBER 

The Beam Club

 
ABC's Achievers

The Beam Club, established in 1966, recognizes ABC's most committed members. Beam Club members have made ABC the world's largest association of merit shop contractors. Their pride in ABC enlivens and strengthens our organization.

To join the Beam Club, you need to recruit five new ABC members. When you've recruited these members, your local ABC chapter automatically enrolls you in the Beam Club. The more companies you recruit, the more recognition you receive for being an ABC Beam Club Member.

National Recognition

Every year, ABC chapters nominate outstanding Beam Club Members in their ABC Region for Regional Beam Club Member of the Year.  At our annual convention the winners of the regional competitions are recognized and one from them is selected for the National Beam Club Member of the Year.

More Members. More Clout!

The 2008 National Board of Directors understands that membership growth is key to continuing the strength and effectiveness of ABC.

This year, Jerry Gorski, Membership Czar, and the Membership Growth Committee have set a goal for the National Board of Directors to reach 100% participation.

The Growth Committee will be working with National Board Members across the country to encourage them to make a pledge and to assist them in their efforts to turn those pledges into new members!

How To Pledge

You too can participate in this pledge program by submitting a pledge card to your Chapter staff or ABC National.  By making a pledge, and then working through the year to fulfill that pledge, you will become a part of the continued membership growth that makes ABC one of the strongest associations in the country.  Talk with the staff and leadership at your chapter to learn more about how this program will support both your local chapter and ABC National.  Download a 2009 Pledge Card (PDF)

Status Report

Pledge Report (PDF) will be published each month with a list of members who have committed to recruit, the number they have pledged, and the number they have converted from pledges into new members.  Members who participate in the program will receive recruitment tips from the Beam Club Hall of Fame to support them in their efforts, as well as correspondence from ABC National to encourage them throughout the year.
