What a difference a bunch of advocates can make. Ken Dean, High Plains Journal, led an effort to promote and grow membership in the National Agri-Marketing Association this past year. He just sent out a note to all of us which I think shows what can happen when we try:
NAMA Advocates:
Congratulations! Your efforts this past NAMA season, culminating with our recent national conference, contributed to the first positive-growth membership in the past several years, up between 5 and 10 percent.
We proved that more people getting involved with our continual membership growth effort made a solid, on-going impact. Your help made this a great year in new membership!
We couldn’t have done that without King Ken. BTW. Ken received the NAMA “Workhorse of the year” award at the NAMA Conference for his efforts.
