Refer-a-Colleague Program

Do you know a geoscientist that isn't, but should be, a member of SEG? Our referral program is a rewarding way for you to earn reduced membership renewal fees when you refer a colleague who joins SEG. Simply share with others the reason you are an SEG member and encourage your colleague to join us. When they complete their online application they must enter your name in the "referred by" section. It's that simple!

Eligibility

The referring member must be either a current Professional, Fellow, or Recent Graduate member. The referral must be joining as either a Professional or Fellow member and have not been an SEG member in the last two years. The member must refer individuals who meet the SEG membership eligibility requirement of being a geoscience graduate holding at least a bachelor's degree. Additionally, the referral must name the referring member at the time of membership application.

Note: The referral joining as the Professional member will still require sponsorship by an SEG Fellow. If the referring member is not an SEG Fellow, SEG will assign a Fellow to the referral. If the referral is joining as a Fellow, all Fellow requirements and application requirements remain.

Referral Program Reward

The referring member is awarded discounts toward future SEG membership:

Referrals Reward
Two approved memberships 15% discount on SEG membership renewal
Three to five approved memberships 25% discount on SEG membership renewal
Six or more approved memberships Free "Electronic-Only" membership (valued at US$100) on SEG membership renewal

No transfer or assignment of reward is permitted. Each discount has a one-time use for renewal.

SEG's Responsibility

SEG will provide quarterly reports to members referring new individuals to membership. SEG will provide a promotional code to eligible members prior to current membership expiration for one-time use.
