Be a Spike

What is a Spike?

A Spike is a member of BANCF who recruits others in the industry to join the association.  Every time a new member is recruited, Spike points are earned. (1 for every new member).  As the points add up, the Spike receives additional recognition.

Some of the reasons to be a Spike

• Nationwide Prestige as a Distinguished Spike Club Member

• Increased Visibility, Recognition, and Networking

• Opportunities Among Industry Peers

• Valuable NAHB Rewards for each Level of Achievement including Lapel Pins, Plaques, Blazers, and More

• Eligibility to Attend the Annual NAHB Spike Party and Enjoy Big Name Entertainment

• Local and State VIP Events, Prizes, and Awards

• Help strengthen the association – the more members, the stronger voice BANCF has

Spike Recognition Levels

Spike credits are earned by recruiting and retaining members. NAHB recognizes and rewards your membership development efforts with its Spike Club awards program. Awards are earned beginning with six credits and at increments of 25, 50, 100, until All-Time Spike level is achieved at 1,500.  To Achieve Spike Status you must earn six credits within two consecutive membership years. (November 1 - October 31).  To Retain Spike Status and Become a Life Spike you must earn a minimum of two Spike credits (new or retention) each membership year until you reach a total of 25 credits.  Take a look at the many Spikes in BANCF.  You could be one too!

Become an Ambassador

BANCF Ambassadors cheerfully volunteer their time throughout the year to make sure all members are taking advantage of the many benefits available to them as members. The Ambassadors are the friendly greeters at the monthly membership meetings, making people feel comfortable and welcome. During monthly phone banks, Ambassadors call members, especially our new members to encourage participation and offer assistance as needed. Ambassadors are a dedicated group as there is a time commitment to be an Ambassador.  But the rewards are great and they are truly making a difference.  To become an Ambassador, email Gina Hill or call 352-372-5649.
