NAQC Membership Renewal Announcement

Dear <<First Name>>,

Thank you to all NAQC members for your ongoing commitment to cessation and the quitline community! The quitline community has made tremendous progress in the past years, which we attribute to our committed and engaged members who have been, and continue to be, the heart of the organization.

The annual NAQC Membership Renewal Process has begun. NAQC offers organizational and individual memberships to those who play a significant role in supporting quitlines and other tobacco cessation efforts and activities. Through NAQC, members have access to top-notch training and technical assistance; receive informative communications, quality standards and benchmarking data; have a voice in moving quitlines forward through voting rights and participation in working groups and more. Membership dues allow NAQC to address emerging issues in this rapidly shifting environment and to provide members with important and timely resources and technical assistance on new legislative and policy changes.

For your convenience, we will be sending renewal invoices to all individual members and organizational contacts by February 24^th . There is no need to re-apply for membership. You can now renew your membership online using a credit card by clicking the “membership info” link under your member profile and then clicking on “securely renew your membership now” link. Membership dues can be paid with a check or a major credit card (Visa, MC, AMEX).

If you renew your membership by May 31, 2012 your name will be entered into a raffle to receive a free registration to the NAQC Conference in August 2012!

Our staff is here to help you easily and efficiently renew your membership. Please visit our newly redesigned membership page for additional information about benefits to be sure you are maximizing your participation in our community.
