How to Refer a Potential Member to an Altrusa Club
We all know people who would make wonderful Altrusans and who would enjoy membership in an Altrusa Club.  Referring these people is easy!
1. Contact the potential member and talk to them about Altrusa.  Need some talking points? Refer to the New Club Building (NCB) brochure for points you can tell them about (download the NCB brochure below)
2. Complete the membership referral form below. This information will go directly to the District Nine NCB database for follow-up.
3. When the NCB team lets you know they have reached out to your referral, check back with them to see if they have any questions.

BE A MEMBERSHIP-BUILDING ALTRUSA AMBASSADOR
 
What is an Altrusa Ambassador?
When a current member of District Nine refers another person to Altrusa, and that person who is referred actually joins a new or existing club, or helps with a club in formation, the referring member is then considered an “Altrusa Ambassador” for their role in getting this new member into a club.
 
To recognize these Altrusans who have shared the gift of Altrusa, a pin and certificate will be given to them at District Conference, and their name will be listed in the News of Mighty Ninth.
 
Do YOU know someone who you would like to refer to one of our clubs?  Their information can be sent to the new Club Building Team by downloading the Member Referral Form, or contacting a member of the New Club Building Team.
