Fraternal Advantage Introduces New Guest Column

05/31/07
 

Do you have an opinion or idea that you would like to share with other fraternal benefit society leaders?  Or do you have knowledge or experience from which other fraternal leaders could benefit?  If so, Fraternal Advantage wants to hear from you!

Fraternal Advantage has created a brand new feature called “Fraternal Forum.”  This guest column will run in every issue, starting in the April/May 2007 edition.  Click here to read our first guest column, Fraternal “Membership” Driving Innovation.

We want to hear from all fraternal leaders and other system-related professionals with expertise, information and views regarding some aspect of the fraternal benefit system.

Please consider writing an article for our Guest Column. We would be happy to suggest a subject on request. Broadly speaking, the categories of greatest interest to us include such topics as solvency, membership recruitment/retention, maintaining an active lodge system, fraternal purpose, new innovations/technology, etc.

Guest Column submission process:

1. Contact the NFCA headquarters if you have any questions or want to discuss the content of your article.

2. Please consult the requirements before you write your article.

3. To submit an article for review, send an e-mail to NFCA Headquarters with “Guest Column” in the subject line.  Please make sure you include:

• A photograph (optional).
  
  
• The personal details you wish to be listed with the article (this may contain any or all of: name, title, company, Web site, e-mail address).

4. We will contact you within ten (10) days of submission.  Accepted articles will be featured as the guest column in a future issue of Fraternal Advantage and become the property of the NFCA.

Requirements:  All articles will be subject to additional review.  The NFCA cannot guarantee that your article will be published, but we will do our best to accommodate all requests. Our goal is to post a wide variety of views from a wide variety of sources.
