NMSA in Action

NMSA Club Membership Success

In October 2008, NMSA introduced its new Club Membership, which delivers three newly released books per year in addition to all of the other outstanding benefits of NMSA's Basic Membership. The books are sent directly to Club Members in the months of January, May, and October before they are available for purchase through the NMSA Store.

Last month the inaugural Club Membership book, Jill Spencer's Everyone's Invited: Interactive Strategies That Engage Young Adolescents, was sent to more than 130 educators who had joined in just over two months since the launch of the new membership.

Now NMSA is giving Club Members a venue to discuss their thoughts on the book via its Facebook Fan Page. Author Jill Spencer has been contributing to the conversation and answering questions as they are posed.

The next Club Membership book, Share, Steal, Revise, Own by Ross Burkhardt, is slated to be released in May.
