Event Details

Greg will discuss strategies and techniques that have worked – and some that have failed – in creating connections with members and customers that drive results.

Attendees will:
• Learn the advantages and unique challenges of marketing to your owners
• Gain insight into the different between a member "benefit" and "feature"
• Understand the true power of affiliation and how to harness it
• Take away a better understanding of career opportunities in the association sector
