3. Imagine2030

GlobeMed is launching Imagine2030 (www.imagine2030.org), a national campaign to expand the network from 33 to 50 chapters, and you can help by spreading the word to their friends, spreading interest at their universities, and recruiting potential GlobeMed chapter founders. The goal is to get at least 100 applications from interested underclassmen (current freshmen or sophomores only) by Fall 2011.

-Nominate a friend/individual, send their full name, university, e-mail address and year in school to founders@globemed.org. Then GlobeMed will send them an email telling them about the leadership opportunity to see if they want to apply.

-Post this video (http://vimeo.com/16860424) up on your facebook today and over the next couple of weeks to get the word out to your friends! The majority of our 2010 class of chapter founders found out about the opportunity from current GlobeMed students.
