If you want to expand your network and connect with other NRWA members, consider joining us for one of our upcoming Member Mixers! We held several of these speed networking sessions during our virtual conference and they were very well received, so our membership team decided to add some to our regular event schedule for 2021:

• Tuesday, July 27
• Wednesday, August 25

These member-only sessions will be held via Zoom. Attendees will be randomly placed in a series of one-on-one breakout rooms, so you will have the opportunity to meet several members during the event. There is no fee, but please register in advance via the links above receive Zoom meeting details. You will have to log in as a member. Each session will be held from 5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m., ET. You will notice on the event page each one has an optional theme.

Click on the above dates to register for each Member Mixer!

Our Member Mixers each have a theme—July's theme is National Cowboy Day. Celebrate by wearing your favorite western gear—hats, shirts, belts—or not! 

Not interested in the theme? No problem. Participating is entirely optional, and topics of discussion won't be centered around the theme.

NOTE: The August Mixer will be open to Nonmembers:

Feel Free to Invite a Friend - These events are often for NRWA members only, but for our August mixer you are welcome to invite a nonmember colleague to introduce them to NRWA. Just have the person register through this link. We’ve enabled nonmember registration for this event.

NRWA Member "Create a Meme" Contest

Let's get creative!

If you’re on social media, you will likely see at least one meme a day. Probably more. Many brands across industries are attracting attention by hopping on the meme trend.

Why not NRWA members?

Many of us have already posted memes to educate and entertain jobseekers. A better way to stand out is to create our own.

Good news, creating memes is a lot easier than creating videos.

*Thanks to Tom Powner for our meme example!

To inspire you, the NRWA is running a Create a Meme contest from April 7 to June 30, 2021.

All entries win bragging rights, and the best meme wins a $25 Amazon gift card.

The contest guidelines are simple: Create an original job search or career-related meme.

Wondering how to create a meme? Canva recently introduced meme templates. Other meme generators include:

To submit your completed meme, please upload it to the entry form where prompted.

By submitting an entry, contestants agree that their submissions will be shared at NRWA discretion (e.g. website, social media, etc.).

NRWA members are known for their generosity. Whether a member needs advice on choosing a CRM or dealing with a PITA client, help is available in our members-only Facebook forum. If you're already a member, you know how valuable it is to have other members who you can rely on to answer your questions and/or come to your aid.

Throughout March, referring new members to the NRWA will give you added benefits!

Any member who refers someone to the NRWA will receive one free live or on-demand webinar of their choice for each referral who joins the association. As a bonus, all members who refer one or more new members will be entered into a drawing for a free 1-year NRWA membership.

To qualify, the person you referred should list your name in the referral field on the membership application. The campaign will run through March 31, 2021.
