Membership is on the rise at ABC MA! Membership Director Venus Williams reports that the Chapter has achieved 90 percent retention again this year. This marks the 8th consecutive year ABC MA has achieved this key association benchmark. Willliams also said plans are underway for a Membership Drive this fall with the goal of reaching 500 members.
“We ended last year at 463 members, and our goal is to hit 500 by the end of this year,“ said Williams. “This would be a great milestone for our chapter,” she said. Of ABC’s national network of 69 chapters, just seven have 500 or more members.
Williams said plans are underway for “a fun and competitive” membership drive this fall, with an Indy 500 theme. “The Membership Drive is extra special this year because the 500-member goal is within reach,” she said. “We’ll have some spirited competition among our recruiting teams from the Membership Committee, the Board of Directors and the general membership, and some great incentives for our recruiters.”
Williams said the drive is planned for October and that details will be announced after Labor Day. All members can participate, and help ABC grow and compete for some great prizes. “As the ABC saying goes, more members means more clout, and that’s good for us all,” she said.
