The Secret to Creating an Extraordinary Experience with Your Members

Credits: None available.

1 Clock Hour | Domain A: Strategic Planning

The truth to creating an extraordinary experience and enhancing a sustainable platform for higher retention of members comes down to not "what you do" but "why you do what you do" from shared or similar core values. It's what is compelling to them and not what makes your meeting unique.

During this session...

• Attendees will be able to implement processes to retain current members and attract more people to their functions based on similar values.
• Attendees will know how to be more compelling and influential to others as an authority in your segment.
• Attendees will learn how to create a value statement that can be part of any marketing or service strategy that will lead to more referrals and higher retention of members.

• Design and source sustainable menus.
• Reduce food waste through prevention and landfill diversion.
