ACB’s 2018 membership seminar will be held on Wednesday, July 4, from 2:45 to 4 p.m. The theme this year is “Using the best features of ACB to build membership.” We’ll kick it off at 2:45 p.m. with the welcome and introductions, then move on to a panel discussion focusing on how your purpose, mission and vision can increase your membership. Panelists include ACB board member George Holliday and John Huffman, president of the Alliance on Aging and Vision Loss. Not sure what the purpose, mission and vision are? Come and find out. There will be time for questions afterward.
Our second panel will focus on advocacy – both self-advocacy and group advocacy – and how it can strengthen your membership. Panelists include ACB board member Jeff Thom. Yes, there will be time for questions afterward.
Immediately after the last question-and-answer session, we will announce the winners of the 2018 Affiliate Growth Awards. As this issue goes to press, the numbers are too close to call! Is your affiliate one of the winners? Come and check!
At the end of the seminar, we will pass out the different handouts and draw names for door prizes.
