At the suggestion of a long-time member of the NAG, I am offering members a new choice to opt out of receiving a membership card upon renewal of their membership.
The argument against the card is that many people just put them away in a drawer and forget about them, and that the production of the card and mailing expense is a cost to the NAG that can be avoided by eliminating the membership card.
Any member may opt out of receiving the card simply by letting me know. I will put an indicator in the member’s record that will suppress production of that member’s membership card in future, unless rescinded by the member.
I have set up this feature and am ready to process any and all requests from members to eliminate their membership cards. This is not a one-time option, but can be exercised and rescinded at any time.
If you do nothing you will continue to receive your membership card when you renew your membership.
Tom Miller, Membership Secretary
