New Membership Growth Incentives
New Membership Growth Incentives
In July we announced a Fast Start incentive to reward Brother Knights who recruited 5 or more new members before September 30. We are now happy to announce new incentives that will reward recruiters, grand knights, and district deputies who grow the Order this year (July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019).
Please share this information with your councils as soon as possible. It's vital that all fraternal leaders know about all incentives!
