Design and Implementation of President’s Reception Series |
| |
Secured a high-profile speaker, Mohammed El-Erian, CEO of PIMCO to speak to the FWA at a members-only event on October 25th 2010 at McGraw-Hill to strategically increase renewals in 2010-2011 and recruit new members; persuaded Board to add continuity by adding additional high-profile speakers at members-only events to highlight the value of the FWA membership. |
| |
In response to the goal of past FWA Presidents to create an orientation for new members, developed an event series called “President’s Receptions” for new FWA members to have an opportunity to meet with FWA Leadership and learn how to get the most out of their membership. |
