Marketing

The Marketing Committee is responsible for establishing and carrying out the annual marketing plan of The Association with the goal of maximizing individual and corporate membership. Committee duties include identifying new members and corporate sponsors; analyzing member feedback to tailor marketing messages; preparing an annual operating budget for marketing activities; and developing the market strategy for external communications through multiple media formats.

The Committee is a volunteer group with no maximum size; however, wide participation from the unit level is strongly encouraged. The Committee may designate procedural rules for the accomplishment of their meetings as they deem fit, but shall report the results of their meetings through the Marketing Director to the Executive Committee quarterly.
