Dear NAME,

As we celebrate a century of inspiration and innovation driven by thousands of scientists, students, engineers and business leaders—like you—we’re showing our appreciation by offering you the opportunity to gift a complimentary new Annual Individual or Recent Graduate Membership.

Over the years you’ve shown just how much you value OSA; now is your chance to share the many benefits and rewards with the recipient of your choice and to help them get the very most out of their new membership. Perhaps you’ll serve as an informal guide to them, introduce them to peers or attend conferences together. The possibilities are yours to explore.

Get started by confirming that your intended recipient isn’t already a member by searching the OSA Member Directory. Next, forward this email to your recipient letting them know that you’ve chosen them and we’ll do the rest.

Best,

ALAN WILLNER
2016 OSA President
