As an incentive program, to assist in "new" member acquisition efforts, a new award has been implemented by National Headquarters.  This award has been approved by the National Commandant and will be presented to the winning Detachment at the National Convention in August 2014.

1} There will be an award of One Thousand ($1,000.00) dollars to the single Detachment in the Marine Corps League, that follows the
criteria listed here and can document that the requirements have been met.

2) This contest will have an effective time period from 1 December 2013 to 1 July 2014.

3) This includes any existing Detachment or new Detachments which are chartered during this time period.

4} The Detachment that recruits the largest number of NEW members will be declared the winner.

5} In the event of a tie, a drawing will be held at the convention to declare the winner.

6} These new members must be documented on a Membership Dues Transmittal form that must be processed through the Department and received no later than 10 July 2014

7) The Official Results will be tabulated by National Headquarters from the Membership Database Reports.

9} League members who have previous membership who were dropped from the rolls as "delinquent" will not count as they will be "retained" members, not "new" members.

Detachment Commandants, Please get this out to your Detachment members and follow up to assure they know about this new Detachment Incentive.
