CASE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UPDATE
New Supervisor & Manager Membership FAQ. Wondering how to explain the benefits of CASE Membership to your colleagues? Check out our new excluded employee FAQ that addresses some common myths and misconceptions about membership for supervisors and managers. You can share this resource with your friends and coworkers when you encourage them to join CASE. Is there a common question you’ve received that is missing from this list? Let us know by emailing info@calattorneys.org.
Don’t Forget About the Membership Recruitment Incentive Program. To encourage all members to help us expand our influence and explain the individual and collective benefits of CASE Membership, the Board last fall established the Membership Recruitment Incentive Program. if you recruit a new CASE Supervisory or Manager Member and are listed as the referring member on their application, you’ll receive $100. The top recruiter in each quarter will receive a bonus payment as well. The referral name must be listed on the new member’s application at the time of submission and incentives are paid out quarterly. You’ll want to focus your efforts solely on your supervisor and manager peers since the Dills Act and Excluded Employee Bill of Rights prohibit you from recruiting rank-and-file members.
Our online membership application is easy for you to share and easy for your new supervisor and manager coworkers (or even not so new!) to complete. Find it here.
