Chapters should invite new members to meetings or programs for the purpose of recognizing their commitment to their profession with an official “Pinning” Ceremony.

While members now commonly receive their pins directly via mail, it does not negate the value of formally recognizing them with a ceremony where they can be officially pinned and publicized, solidifying their retention from the start of their journey. A new member pinning ceremony script can be located in the Onboarding section of the Chapter Playbook. 

If you or your Chapter have any suggestions for new resources, please let us know by emailing leadership@naifa.org.
