An integral part of the 10,000 Terps campaign, Terrapin Club Agents represent a true grassroots approach to increasing membership numbers.
Each Agent is responsible for the following activities (“mission”):
- Contact 25 members twice annually;
- Help promote events, ticket sales, news updates;
- Recruit 5 new members annually;
- Suggest 1 new Terrapin Club Agent annually.
In exchange for their successful completion of their “mission,” Terrapin Club Agents receive:
- Terrapin Gear (fleece/windbreaker/etc.)
- Exclusive agent-only reception at one non-conference basketball game annually (Sprint Heritage Hall; includes food/drink/game tickets);
- Full Terpoint credit for new member referrals.
The Terrapin Club is actively searching for new Terrapin Club Agents to help reach 10,000 members by the end of 2010. Ideal Agents exhibit the following behavior characteristics:
- Activists: Agents get involved with their communities, political movements, charities, etc;
- Connected: Agents have large social networks;
- Impact: Agents are respected and trusted by others;
- Active minds: Agents have multiple and diverse interests;
- Trendsetters: Agents tend to be early adopters (or leavers) in markets.
If this describes you, then you’d be a perfect Terrapin Club Agent. To become an Agent, please contact Jessica Klacynski at (301) 314-9981 or via email at jklacyns@umd.edu.
Full-time Terrapin Club staff members represent the top of the agent “member tree.” Each staff member will be responsible for recruiting and managing 20 agents; those agents are then responsible for recruiting 5 new members annually and providing personal contact to 25 members twice annually (usually with specific messages as determined by Terrapin Club staff).
Thank you to our 2009-2010 Terrapin Club Agents!
