Notes From the Board

Nebraska Press Women will be 60 in '06. A few things to think from the general meeting Oct. 9 in looking ahead to that milestone:

Saving history. Send clips and photos to Terri Hahn, who is putting together several history books on archive quality paper about NPW organization¹s history. Her address is P.O. Box 272, Osceola, NE 68651.

Buy a shirt. New "Backed by the First Amendment" shirts were for sale for the first time in red, white, navy and black. Be sure to get yours at spring convention!

Promote NPW. With the 60th anniversary soon upon us, start thinking now about encouraging a colleague or friend to attend a future NPW convention at Broken Bow or Hastings. Remember, one-on-one is the best recruiting tool there is (and keep in mind students!) NFPW. In 2005, check out Seattle and remember the pre-tour. Go once and you'll be hooked.

Notes From NFPW

NFPW membership renewal notices are in the mail at this very moment. When your notice arrives, please take a moment to review the member information and send edits back with your check or your credit card information. This is the best way of collecting accurate information for the database.

Free for Four Recruitment Program:
If you recruit four new members for NFPW, you will receive a free membership for the coming year. As you recruit new members during this November and December, remember to tell them if they join now they will be members from now through 2005.

Corporate Membership:
Five for Four Program: If a company pays for four memberships with a company check, that company gets a fifth membership for free. If your company does this, please make sure the information sheets arrive with the check so NFPW can properly track the payments.

Student Membership Competition:
The 2005 membership competition is under way right now. The affiliate that recruits the most new student members between September of 2004 and August of 2005 will receive a prize at the 2005 conference in Seattle. Even more ­ the cost of joining NFPW as a student member has been reduced from $20 to $10 for this period. The 2005 contest rules include a section just for college level entries, so we hope you will contact potential college members and encourage them to join and enter the 2005 contest.
