AWS is nearly 50,000 members strong. Imagine how much stronger we would be if each of our members took just a few minutes to encourage one of their colleagues to join AWS. We could potentially boast a membership of nearly 100,000 – making us one of the largest associations in the world…and giving us the resources necessary to expand your benefits as an AWS Member. Referrals are our most successful member recruitment tool. Our Members know first-hand how useful AWS Membership is. Who better than you to encourage someone to join us?
