We are having our 11th annual March Membership Drive!! Our goal is 250! new and renewal NAXJA memberships during the month of March. Last years drive brought in 241 total memberships and renewals! Everyone who joins or renews during March will be entered into a drawing, plus we're having a chapter contest to see which chapter can have the most new and renewal memberships.

March Membership Drive Raffle

NAXJA will be giving away 3 different prizes this year. I will start to announce the prizes on or about Monday March 7th! Everyone who joins NAXJA and everyone who renews their NAXJA membership during the month of March will be automatically entered into the raffle. Once all the memberships that are received during the month are properly logged in, we'll draw to see who the lucky winners will be. Each of the three prizes will be purchased from NAXJA vendors and have an approximate value of over $300 or more! Once again we have some great prizes picked out this year.



Chapter Contest

We need all the help we can get from members and chapters to reach our goal of 250 new and renewal memberships. So, to make it more fun, we're again having a contest to see which chapter can bring in the most memberships, this will be percentage based so that all the chapters will have a fair advantage to win. The chapter with the most new and renewal memberships (percentage) in their geographical area will be the winner. The winning chapter will receive the prize listed below to be used in a raffle of their own, plus being known as the Big Dog chapter that kicked ass and got the job done.

Here is my 2015 open letter to members and sponsors:

Open letter to NAXJA members and sponsors.

First and foremost, thank you for supporting NAXJA by being a NAXJA member and/or a sponsor. NAXJA is 17 years old and could not be what it is today without the support of everyone that’s been in involved.

It has been my pleasure serving NAXJA the past three years as president.

2015 was another very successful year for NAXJA. In January, NAXJA turned 16 years old. National gave $5000 to the Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC) in November in Las Vegas. The chapters have contributed in helping with land use efforts from helping to upgrade trail markers, to buying an auger for trail work, to giving financially to support public lands, and even helping to back a land use foundation that was started years ago, with a donation from NAXJA.

In 2015 we reorganized how we memorialized our members that have passed. We now have a roster specifically to remember those who have gone before us and we even added several folks that we were made aware of, so that they would not be forgotten. We lost a few members in 2015 and we remember them for their contributions to NAXJA over the years.

We remember Andy "Andy Steiner" Steiner, Don "Woody" Woodward, Pete "Over2land" Trasborg, and Aaron "FlexdXJ" Thompson.

In 2015, we worked to upgrade our server. The new admin team researched what they believe to be the best option for NAXJA. That server has been purchased and we look to have it online in January of 2016. My hope is to add some cool new features and options to the website in 2016. We are looking at bringing the very popular chat option back and bringing back the NAXJA store to make it more accessible. We are looking at better access from mobile devices and maybe even doing some reorganization of forums. It’s been a long transition and I hope to see some fun, new things in 2016.

In 2015, we looked to expand our social media presence. We have tried to make our facebook page more active and NAXJA even has a twitter account (@naxja_org). If you aren't following us, please do so!

Membership was up in 2015 over 2014. Membership averaged a very high success rate with getting packets out in a timely manner in 2015. I believe we stayed within a two week time frame or less in getting packets out. Please remember when you sign up or renew to make sure that your Paypal address is up to date. If it's not, please PM membership.

Another busy year is in store for us in 2016. Events for 2016 are already being planning by the chapters. We have great sponsors and great items for raffles at the chapter events throughout the year. Please visit our sponsor forums and support those who support us. I hope to see you on the trail this year at an event in 2016!

As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns about NAXJA and what is going on please feel free to PM, email, text or call me or any member of the BOD.

Thank you!
Matt 'macgyvr' Rowland
NAXJA president

Please note: In regards to your current membership if it isn't expired yet. If you renew in March, you will be entered into the drawing. If you don't expired til sometime later, your current membership will just be extended. There's no reason that everyone shouldn't be signing up or renewing in March!
