Welcome to ABWA’s Fame Game. This is your chance to achieve celebrity status in the American Business Women’s Association! In the next few months, your rise to the top will include countless opportunities to connect with professionals in your community and receive unprecedented recognition within ABWA.

As a member of ABWA, you are automatically entered in a first-ever race to the Inner Circle Hall of Fame. By recruiting 11 members between March 1 and Sept. 1, 2009, you will take your place in ABWA history with a special induction into the ABWA Hall of Fame at the 2009 National Women’s Leadership Conference and a commemorative limited-edition brooch!

We have divided up the race into three challenges: the Big Break, the Encore, and the Grand Finale. Here is how the game is played:

• Your first challenge begins immediately with your Big Break – recruit new members between March 1 and May 30, 2009 and you’ll be on your way to the Hall of Fame! For each new member you sponsor during this period, you will receive one chance to win a free registration for ABWA’s 60th Anniversary Celebration valued at over $450!  For example, 4 members recruited = 4 chances entered into the drawing.
  
  

  But wait, there’s more!  You will receive one ABWA Goodwill Buck for each member recruited.  Bucks can be used towards the purchase of any official ABWA merchandise.

• Your next challenge is the Encore.  To receive your Encore, you must sponsor new members from June 1-July 31, 2009.  And for every member you sponsor during this period, you will receive double the opportunity, two chances, to win a free registration for ABWA’s 60th Anniversary celebration valued at $450 plus two Applause Bucks. For example, two members sponsored = 4 chances to win + 4 Applause Bucks that can be used towards the purchase of official ABWA merchandise.
  
  
• Your last challenge of the race is the Grand Finale.  The curtain opens for the Grand Finale from August 1-August 20. For each member sponsored during this phase of the race you will receive three chances to win a free conference registration for ABWA’s 60th anniversary celebration plus 3 Standing Ovation Bucks. For example, 3 members sponsored = 9 chances + 9 Standing Ovation Bucks!

Starting in March, you will receive your game board to track your progress in the ABWA Fame Game. Stake your claim to fame with ABWA! Join the race to the Inner Circle Hall of Fame today!
