Sections
Visits were made to the Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska
and Pacific Northwest sections by Society leaders and the membership director.
Additionally, visits were made to NABEC and the CSAE-SCGR Annual Meeting. We
continue to receive helpful feedback from members, which enables us to serve
them better. We are also finding that the name change issue is being widely
discussed across all section meetings.
A Section Officer Update electronic
newsletter was sent to section officers, the Membership Development Council and
the ASAE leadership on 8/22 with headquarters news and updates. The next
newsletter will be mailed the second week of November.
Preprofessional/Student
Outreach
The Preprofessional Officer team
developed the second newsletter aimed specifically towards ASAE student
branches and student activities. It was mailed on 10/23 and contained
information of specific interest to preprofessionals. The next newsletter is
scheduled to go out in April 2004.
A new member newsletter was sent by
e-mail on 9/22 to all members who joined ASAE within the last 18 months. The
newsletter highlighted information of specific interest to new member. These
newsletters are a part of an overall New Member Program developed within the
last year to get new members involved in ASAE programs and activities from the
start of the affiliation with ASAE. These newsletters continue to be well
received by members.
We’re also pleased to report that
Tina Schultz, with the help of Sharon McKnight and Barbara Sowden, was able to
convert 42 non-member attendees of the TRIO Conferences in Raleigh, NC into
members. We have found that face-to-face recruitment efforts still tend to
yield the best results for bringing in new members.
