Many thanks to our volunteer members who are recruiting new members to the Association. As of today, we’ve brought in 36 new members because our leadership is promoting the value of belonging to IAVM. Here are the top five recruiters of the JustOne campaign:
- Andrea Smalls – Georgia International Convention Center/GICC – 8 new members
- Jim Brown, CVE – First National Bank Arena – 3 members
- Bill Bavirsha, CVE – UIC Sports Complex – 3 members
- Kerry Painter, CVE, CEM, CMP – Raleigh Convention and Performing Arts Complex – 3 members
- Paul Turner, CVE – AT&T Stadium – 3 members
All of these leaders are part of IAVM’s Group Membership Program. Group membership is an easy way to get more of your team members involved, either as Professional Group Members or Allied Group Members.
This annual recruitment campaign enables IAVM’s volunteer leaders to recruit one new member. Who makes up the IAVM Leadership? The Board of Directors, Foundation Board of Trustees, Regents, Governors, Committees and Task Forces – 298 individuals — spread the word about the value of IAVM membership.
Why is this important? In these challenging times, our collective voices make a difference with our advocacy efforts. IAVM’s governance is working hard to identify the next round of leaders that will propel the Association into the future, but more importantly, deliver expanded connections from diverse backgrounds that will enhance sharing opportunities at our schools and conferences and on boards and committees.
There is still time to build on our success. Encourage your peers, employees, suppliers or neighboring venues to join soon. The campaign ends on March 31, 2021.
REWARD: The Board, Committee, Council, Task Force, Region and individual that refers the most members will be recognized at VC21 in Atlanta, Georgia.
