MAP - Member Assistance Program
In efforts to expand communications with members, NYSUT Member Benefits Trust is introducing MAP, the Member Assistance Program. Just as maps provide direction, MAP team members will assist Member Benefits and vice versa. Through this e-mail-based program:
· You’ll be among the first to hear about new, endorsed programs and program updates.
· You’ll receive special offers.
· We’ll ask for your opinions on new programs under consideration.
When possible, we'll ask you to help test potential new programs and give us your feedback.
Your opinions matter! You can help us shape future programs and services exclusively available to you and your colleagues. Help make a difference!
We will not share your e-mail address with outside interests other than endorsed Member Benefits program providers, and only under controlled circumstances. We will oversee the frequency of e-mail communications – You have our word we will not bombard you with e-mails!
And if you join MAP by September 30, 2008 you will be entered into a drawing to win a digital camera. Note: All current MAP participants are automatically entered in the drawing. See below for NYSUT Member Benefits Trust Web Site Drawing Rules. Use this link to take you to the MAP sign-up page. MAP sign-up.
