Subject Line: I’m inviting you to join AAIDD.

Hello [ Name ],

I am writing because I believe you may be interested in the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.  I am a member of the Association and have found the connections and resources to be professionally and personally fulfilling.  AAIDD is a highly-respected organization in the intellectual and developmental disability field, and I would love to have you join me as a fellow member.

I’ve enjoyed many benefits as a member of AAIDD:

• Access to highly-regarded peer-reviewed journals
• Information and discounts on innovative publications and resources
• Resources to expand my knowledge in the field- such as webinars on timely topics and members-only newsletters
• Vital programming at the Annual Meeting held each summer
• Discounts on Annual Meeting registration and bookstore items

  I do hope you will consider joining AAIDD.  You can do so by

• Visiting http://aaidd.org/about-aaidd/membership-join (Please do email membership@aaidd.org and tell them I sent you!)
• Printing out the attached form and sending to AAIDD’s office.
• Calling AAIDD at 202.387.1968 x 201 and requesting an invoice.

If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to speak to you about my experience with the Association.

All the best,

[Your Name], AAIDD Member
