Get Connected!

Whenever NSA members get together, ideas spark and things happen! Did you know there are a few social groups that connect online as well as at NSA meetings? For example, The Speaking Eagles is a social networking group composed of NSA members who are pilots or have an interest in flying. NSA

Next, featured in the

May 2008 issue of Speaker, is a dynamic group of NSA members who are young or young at heart.

If you want to connect with either of these two groups, others that have formed, or start your own, visit www.mynsa.org/chaptersandgroups/ networkinggroups.asp or call NSA at (480) 968-2552.

By recruiting just one member to NSA during our Speaker 2 Speaker campaign, you will receive a free pass to the NBC Studio Tour in New York City on Satur- day, August 2, from noon to 4 p.m.

Email the name, address, phone num-
ber and email address of your lead to
speaker2speaker@nsaspeaker.
org. Our membership team
will do the rest.
