ESA’s Membership Campaign Drive
There’s no better testimonial to the power of membership than the voice of current members who are utilizing their benefits!
ESA CONNECTS PROFESSIONALS, SHAPES POLICIES, AND ADVANCES COLLECTIVE INTERESTS. MEMBERS BENEFIT FROM THE RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED BY THE ASSOCIATION. IT’S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR PROFESSIONALS TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY CAN GIVE BACK BY VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE.
Role of a Campaign Volunteer
In every thriving industry association, there exists a group of individuals whose dedication and passion supports the backbone of its success. Our Membership Campaign initiative requires commitment, enthusiasm, and a genuine belief in the value that the association provides to its members. Volunteers are the champions of our cause, tirelessly spreading the word and advocating for the benefits of membership. Every volunteer, no matter how small their contribution, plays a vital role in our collective success.
Campaign Volunteer Commitment:
Actively participate in the campaign that runs January-August.
Work with your assigned sales partners to identify and pursue leads.
Identify personal non-ESA members in the industry and give your testimonial on how being an ESA member has benefited you and your company.
Introduce prospective members to ESA Sales Counterparts so they can assist in explaining detailed benefits information.
Strive to bring in new members, new ESX registrations and advertising
Reach committed goal

Additional Prizes
At the end of the campaign we’ll total your overall production as a volunteer. If your total goal is met, you’ll have the option to gift credits to another volunteer or “cash in” your credits for a gift card

How to Earn Campaign Credits
You can earn campaign credits (1 for every dollar sold), by selling:
INTEGRATOR MEMBERSHIPS
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIPS
ESX EXECUTIVE AND DELUXE REGISTRATIONS
ESA PRINT AND WEB ADVERTISING
Rules
All credits are based on NEW purchases. (i.e. If someone registered for ESX last year you would not get credit for their registration, but if they registered last year and bought two passes this year, you would get credit for the upgrade or second pass).
A campaign volunteer cannot claim credits for membership, advertising, or sponsorships from his/her own company (unless investment is an upgrade from historical investment).
Prizes are awarded at the end of the contest based on the level achieved in total throughout the campaign.
Credits are applied once full payment is made.
