CFUW National provides several membership and advocacy awards each year to Clubs. A reminder of the details and deadlines follows below.
All awards open for application April 1st, and close May 30th.
New Members Award
Does your Club have new members this year? If so, you may be eligible for a New Members Award. The award is intended for Clubs that have more than 10% new members, even though they did not have a 10% overall increase in membership. (This could be because of members moving, etc). There is no separate application form required for this award. Instead, you are asked to add in the number of new members on the CFUW Membership database (www.cfuwmembership.org). If you do not remember your user name and password, please contact Elizabeth Malcolm at memberservices@cfuw-fcfdu.ca
