Membership Stars: |
The Membership Star Program began January 1, 1991, to recognize those members who bring in new members to the Photographic Society of America. A referring (sponsoring) member is sent a "thank you" recognition email by the Director within a month of the referral. The referring member's name is listed in the PSA Journal following the new member's name. Beginning with the referral's listed in the January 1991, PSA Journal, data was gathered by Icy Sowards, APSA. In 2008 a database was developed by Stuart Lynn and it is continually updated by the Director of the Membership Star Program. Membership Stars are awarded automatically when a member completes the required number of referrals. Continuous membership is required to receive stars. First Star = 10 new members Second Star = 25 new members total Third Star (presentation box) = 45 new members total Fourth Star = 70 new members total Fifth Star (plaque) = 100 new members total Ruby Star (plaque) = 200 new members total Diamond Star (plaque) = 400 new members total |
