Earn Money Through ATPE’s One New = $10 for You Recruitment Program

Spread the word about ATPE and earn money with the One New = $10 for You recruitment program. Until Oct. 31, 2023, members can earn $10 for every new member they recruit. For this program, the newly recruited member must join as a first-time professional, associate, or administrator. Also, they must be someone who has never been a member with ATPE— the only exception is if the member was previously a college student or student teacher.

ATPE’s 2022-23 Top Recruiter, Amanda Fortenberry, recruited 39 new members and received $390 ($10 for each new member), plus $1,000 for being the state’s top recruiter. Fortenberry is beginning her 2023-24 school year in a new district, and she says she plans to continue that success by doing exactly what worked for her in the past.

“The first thing I’m going to do is to seek out the ATPE people in my new district,” Fortenberry says. “I am going to go to them and ask how I can help. I want everyone to know that if you are interested in joining, you can contact me, and I will literally walk to the door of your classroom and deliver an application.

“I would also like to spread the word about what ATPE can offer to new teachers. My slogan will be, ‘Sign up first and ask questions later. You’re going to want that protection from day one.’”

Incentives earned from recruitment will be paid for each recruited member who is active in ATPE’s database on Feb. 1,

2024. Following that, all funds will be issued via direct deposit in March 2024.

There is no entry form necessary; just instruct any new members you recruit to print your full name in the “recruited by” box on their membership application.

What are you waiting for? You’ve got until Oct. 31 to help grow your association AND earn some rewards for yourself at the same time!
