 | Help SAH Reach Its Goal of 5,000 Members The One-to-One Membership Campaign aims for each member of SAH to recruit one new member by the end of the calendar year.

This would not only allow the Society to have a bigger impact on current discussions about the built environment, it would also help reduce the costs of many SAH activities for each individual member. Visit the One-to-One Campaign webpage for some thoughts to consider when reaching out to potential members and a downloadable SAH Membership Kit.
