InClub – the Industry Recruitment Program

Who you can recruit

The industry recruitment program allows industry members to recruit any SNA member type to join the Association (this includes foodservice operators and Industry). The recruitment effort by industry will strengthen client-vendor relations and increase membership representation throughout the supply chain.

The Point System

Recruitment points for types of members recruited are awarded according to the table below:

Points in the program are accumulated over time and represent the total number of active individuals and companies recruited. In order for recruiters to maintain their points, those whom they have recruited must maintain their membership; if a recruited company or individual does not renew its membership, the recruiter loses those points. This means a recruiter could be at the Silver level one year and at the Bronze level the following year, depending on the renewal rate of those they have recruited. If a company upgrades its membership from a Corporate membership to a Patron membership, the original referrer will still receive points for that company, even if the recruiter had no role in the company’s decision. It is important to note that once an individual or company is involved in the program, their involvement continues as long as membership is active.

Company points are accounted for by summing all of the points of a company’s employees. For example, if a company has 3 employees that have each recruited 10 points-worth of members, the company has a total of 30 points. This means that the company has 3 employees at the Bronze Individual level, but the company itself is at a Silver Company level.

InClub Levels

The following InClub levels (with the points required for each level) apply to individuals and companies that participate in the program:

To differentiate between individuals and companies participating in the program, individuals are called “Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum Individual” and companies “Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum Company”.

Recognition

The top individual and company industry recruiters will be recognized at the Second General Session at ANC and in a blurb on the industry recruitment webpage. All recruiters will receive recognition on the recruitment portion of SNA’s website. Recruiters will also be recognized in other publications, such as Industry Insider and School Nutrition, and will receive a letter of appreciation recognizing them for their efforts.
