Membership

Edwardo Manuel, Director at Large, Membership

Dear CASE V Membership Representative:

Are you shortchanging your institutional advancement staff?

If you are your institution's CASE membership coordinator, that's a question you should be asking yourself if you are not taking advantage of CASE's liberal membership registration. As you may already know, your institution's annual membership fee is based upon your institution's FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) enrollment. CASE membership is held by the institution, not by the individual.

Chances are there are a number of qualified staff professionals within your organization who also deserve to be CASE professional members. For only $85 they can be! Benefits include:

a subscription to CURRENTS Magazine, CASE's award-winning flagship publication;
a listing in and a copy of the CASE Membership Directory;
a membership card;
valuable discounts on programs and services;
issues of advance, CASE District Five's quarterly newsletter; and
access to all members-only online benefits.

CASE meets the needs of advancement professionals in the three disciplines: Alumni Relations, Communications/Government Relations, and Development. But, keep in mind these broad categories also make donor prospect researchers, graphic artists, community relations personnel, publications managers, annual fund telemarketers, writers, and dozens of other advancement positions — in fact, anyone you designate — eligible to be a CASE member representative for only $85.

Please take this opportunity to review the names of your organization's CASE members and then survey your organizational landscape to seek out staffers who could greatly benefit from membership in CASE. Registration for professional membership is easy: find out more.

Best wishes!
