CONGRATS TO THE PELICAN CHAPTER MEMBERS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A BEAM CLUB AWARD BY ANNA ZEBEAU, DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP
At the end of 2019, five Pelican Chapter members had reached a level in ABC National’s Beam Club. The Beam Club was established in 1966 and recognizes ABC members who have displayed their commitment to grow the association with their ability to recruit quality members into the association. Beam Club members have made ABC the world’s largest association of merit shop contractors and continue to be the foundation for the future of ABC and merit shop construction. When a new member joins the Pelican Chapter, a member sponsor is listed on the application to receive credit for encouraging the new member to join the chapter. All sponsors are tracked in the database cumulative over the years. Members who sponsor new members are given one point per new member. Once a member reaches 5 sponsored members, they officially become a Beam Club Level Member and are enrolled in the Beam Club by their chapter. Beam Club activity is ongoing from year to year, with members’ point totals continually accruing and advancing members to the next Beam Club award level.
We congratulate all of these Beam Club recipients. We greatly appreciate their support for the Merit Shop Philosophy and for their involvement and passion for the organization and chapter!
