Spike Club

A Spike is a member who works to recruit new members, gets members involved and retains members. In building a strong association, Spikes are priceless. Here’s how to start:

Earn six credits within two consecutive membership years.
You receive one Spike credit for each new member you recruit and an additional credit when that new member renews on or before their anniversary date.
You must earn two credits per year until you reach 25 credits to become a Life Spike.

How do I earn Spike credits?

Members earn one credit for each new member they sponsor. When that member renews after his or her first year of membership, the sponsoring member automatically gets one renewal credit. Every year the member renews thereafter, the sponsoring member will receive a ½ renewal credit.

Spikes receive a ½ credit for recruitment and a ½ credit for the renewal of Affiliate members.
