Chapter Membership History
In 1997 the Atlanta Chapter had just over 300 members. That sounds good, but maybe not, considering there are about 1300 alumni listed in our Chapter Directory! In 1998 we only had 276 members (only 258 of which are members of USNAAA National). That's not good! Here's why:
Membership fees support the Chapter's activities and events.
(More fees equals better activities and events.)Membership fees provide the ability for us to communicate and provide member benefits.
As of 2000, the top nine Chapters in the country, by membership, get representation on the Board of Trustees of the National USNA Alumni Association. We get a voice! We help form policy!
(Note that to count in the tally you must be a member of USNAAA National as well as a member of the Atlanta Chapter!)
1999 Membership Update: In 1999, after a well planned and executed fourth quarter membership drive, the Atlanta Chapter again just topped the 300 member mark! Congratulations, and good for us!
2000 Membership Update: In 2000 the Atlanta Chapter again topped the 300 member mark, but we didn't make the top nine chapters and had to rely on one of the three new "other chapter" positions to retain our trustee's seat on the National Board.
2001 Membership Update: In 2001 the Atlanta Chapter had 302 dues-paying Chapter members. However, only 266 of those were also members of the National USNA Alumni Association, so only 266 count toward our total. We will need to get our numbers up in the next two years in order to get back into the top nine Chapters to regain a seat on the National Board of Trustees.
2002 Membership Update: In 2002 the Atlanta Chapter again topped the 300 member mark, but only 275 of those were also members of the National USNA Alumni Association. As such, we fell out of the top nine chapters by only 3 members! We need to get our numbers back up in the next two years to regain our trustee's seat on the National Board.
2003 Membership Update: In 2003 the Atlanta Chapter had 297 dues-paying Chapter members. However, again, not enough of those were also members of National to get us into the top nine Chapter list.
2004 Membership Update: In 2004 the Atlanta Chapter had 343 dues-paying Chapter members. Only 304 of those were also members of the National USNA Alumni Association. That placed us as the 7th largest chapter! Congratulations to all involved! We are back in the top nine and reclaim our seat on the Board of Trustees!
