Members Referring Members: The Power of Our Community
One of the things that makes NAF special isn’t just our programs, events, or resources—it’s the people.
Over the years, some of our most meaningful membership growth has come from members referring other members. A conversation between peers. A recommendation shared over coffee or during a conference hallway chat. A simple, “You should really check out NAF.”
Those referrals matter.
When members refer colleagues, they’re not just growing the association, they’re strengthening the community. They’re helping ensure that the conversations we’re having are relevant, the education we’re delivering is practical, and the connections being made are grounded in real-world experience.
Why Member Referrals Make Such a Difference
-
They’re built on trust. A recommendation from a peer carries weight because it comes from lived experience.
-
They bring the right people to the table. Members understand who will benefit from, and contribute to, the NAF community.
-
They reinforce our culture. Growth driven by referrals helps preserve the collaborative, supportive nature that defines NAF.
A Simple Way to Make an Impact
If NAF has been valuable to you, whether through education, networking, compliance insights, or community, consider sharing that experience with someone in your network. It doesn’t have to be formal. Often, the most effective referrals happen organically:
-
“NAF has been a great resource for our team.”
-
“You’d really benefit from the conversations happening there.”
-
“It’s worth being part of this community.”
Sometimes all it takes is planting the seed.
