NYSAFC "RU?" Membership Drive a Success!

In an effort to bolster the association’s membership roll, NYSAFC continued the "RU?" campaign through the recent 107th Annual Conference & FIRE 2013 Expo at Turning Stone. 231 new members joined the association during this year's campaign.
 
All new members that joined from January 30 through June 15, 2013, were entered into a raffle for prizes. Those new members that joined on-site during FIRE 2013 also received a special gift – an autographed poster-sized print entitled "Fire Scene" by renowned artist Joseph Getsinger!
 
Thank you to our "RU?" ambassadors who volunteered throughout the conference. And special thanks to those companies that supported the "RU?" campaign through donations!
