To All Listserv Participants:
July 1, 2015 officially begins our 2016 membership year. For those not familiar with the significance of this date, our membership count as of July 1st determines the amount of funds allocated by the AOM to the MSR Interest Group for our 2016 operating budget. This count also establishes another trending point that measures our growth trajectory as we apply for division status.
We are encouraged by so many who participate as members and on our Listserv. Note, however, that participation on the Listserv alone does not count towards our membership record. Although the Listserv provides an opportunity to communicate with others interested in the MSR domain, it does not help increase our membership count or budget allocation.
If you are not currently an AOM member, we encourage you to join this month and choose MSR as your division/interest group affiliation. Your participation will make a substantial difference if you join before this date.
Thank you for your support and understanding regarding this appeal.
Orneita Burton
2015 MSR Interest Group Chair
