I hope you are having a great summer!

FMA's Summer Recruitment Campaign has kicked off. Every new Regular or Associate member you recruit between now and September 30, 2023, will receive a $50 VISA Gift Card just for joining. And you will receive an entry into our drawing for each new member you recruit during this campaign! The Grand Prize for this drawing will be $250, with two second place prizes of $100.

Please coordinate your efforts with your FMA Chapter leadership since they may be able to provide you with a chapter-specific application and other materials.
