Ambassadors' Club
The National Kitchen & Bath Association seeks to recognize members of the NKBA who have added to the growth of our Association by bringing in new members. In appreciation of their continuing efforts, we induct them into the NKBA Ambassadors' Club.
The success of the NKBA Ambassadors' Club is attributed to more than 160 members who have recruited over 4,000 new members into the NKBA. These recruiters receive national recognition through this website, as well as in Profiles Magazine. Induction takes place at the NKBA Chapter Officers' Forum/Ambassadors' Club Luncheon held at KBIS.
The NKBA Ambassadors' Club was created in 1983 to recognize individuals whose involvement represents the pinnacle of Association services. Membership in the club is reserved for individuals who recruit at least five new members in a 12-month period, or a total of 15 new members over any time period. New member applications received prior to December 31, 2009 will be considered for 2010 induction.
Please note the following club policies: (1) any NKBA member can participate; (2) only one Ambassadors' Club credit is awarded for each new applicant; (3) Ambassadors' Club credit will be awarded only after the membership application is processed; (4) members can be recruited in any non-student membership category; (5) reactivating a firm will count as a new application if the firm has not been an active NKBA member for at least 12 months; and (6) a branch membership application will count as a new member recruited.
Please note the following exclusions: (1) recruiters must be identified on the NKBA application form at the time it is submitted to the NKBA for processing to earn Ambassadors' Club credit; (2) an individual cannot receive credit if they recruit a "branch" from within their immediate corporate structure; and (3) changing membership categories does not count as a new application.
Additional Recognition and Promotional Opportunities
NKBA Ambassadors’ Club introduces the Diplomat Award - A new program has been created for existing Club members to earn a higher level of recognition through continued recruitment. Not an NKBA Ambassadors’ Club member yet, but want to become involved? This is the perfect opportunity to do so.
The Diplomat Award will be presented to three individuals who recruit the highest number of new member companies during 2010. Recruit as many new member companies as you can between January and December of 2010, and you could be one of three recipients. The more new member companies you recruit, the greater your chances to be awarded the following:
- Diplomat Award certificate
- $200 American Express Gift Card
- Recognition on the NKBA website
- Additional exposure in Profiles Magazine and QuickClicks
Member recruiting highest number of company members - The individual who recruits the highest number of new company members between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2010, will receive a full conference registration plus a two (2) night hotel accommodations (incidentals NOT included) for KBIS® 2011!
