Member Relations

Mission

The VIA Membership Committee works to build and retain a strong membership, assisting all members to be a part of a successful VIA team.

Goals & Objectives

• Establish personal relationships with new members by acting as ambassadors at the monthly luncheons, introducing new members to existing members, and by greeting attendees at VIA In Action Breakfasts and quarterly Open Houses.
• Encourage member participation and increased business activities between members.
• Introduce new members at the monthly VIA luncheon. Primary goal is to increase and endorse membership through all activities and attain growth in membership.
• Extend invitations to members for events such as the Quarterly Get Acquainted Breakfast.
• Initiate occasional member surveys, using the feedback to keep VIA relevant to member’s needs.
• Coordinate target marketing program.
