§ Direct all Registration questions to the Treasurer. If unavailable, the VP of Programs can also assist you.
§ A great way to meet new people is to volunteer for the Check-In Committee. It involvement will help put faces with names of meeting attendees.
§ If you are interested in meeting a particular person or group of professionals (i.e. caterers or florists), ask a board member to introduce you to someone new.
Tips from the Chapter Treasurer
TAMPABAYNACE § Attend as many monthly meetings as possible. The more meetings you
attend, the more people you meet. New contacts=new business!
§ Volunteer to sponsor your products or services for a monthly meeting. Show off what you do! Contact the VP of Programs to volunteer.
§ Join a Committee today! Contact the assigned Board Member or the VP of Membership for any questions you may have.
§ Get to know other new members on the same journey as yourself!
§ Go to www.NACE.net and check out the many benefits the national organization offers and how they may help you and your business.
§ Need some guidance? Don’t be afraid to ask. The Board of Directors is your best source of information and is here to assist you.
§ Refer a friend for membership and receive a $50 credit towards your next renewal.
