ASSOCIATE Magazine FBINAA Q3-2025

Continued from "Meet Your New FBINAA President", on page 15 building the benefits of membership. Membership issues are af fecting many Associations around law enforcement. We just need to push a little harder. NA: What strategies might you implement to foster member participation with our association? BC: If every member can contact a session mate or a workmate who is no longer active with the Association and have them reconnect with the Association, we will double our membership numbers. But that plan is highly unlikely to succeed. However, if three active members can bring one inactive member back to the association, we will grow by about 3,000 to 17,000 again.

The Association will be issuing a challenge to our Chapters. The three fastest-growing chapters during the 2026 membership re newal period, starting this fall, will win some very nice prizes. The Chapter president of the first place Chapter will be awarded a free registration to the 2026 NATC at the Falls, and a room upgrade.
