E:X:E:C – Education/eXecutive Involvement/Events and/or Communications
Small associations – yet MIGHTY association executives! You are the perfect candidate for the E:X:E:C project if you:
Have an NAR approved strategic plan?- Have 300 to 700 members
- Believe that with a little help you can be even mightier?
You’ll work with nSight Marketing to develop a 12-month member communications and activities program.
The local association AE must complete an online project application and submit by February 21, 2015. No extensions will be possible.
Only local associations can apply for E:X:E:C. State associations do not apply. If you are less than 300 members, you may team up and apply with another small local association.
Goals for E:X:E:C
- Help you show your association’s value in a tangible way through a series of 12 monthly classes/training events.
- Develop a series of messages for you that highlights your local, state and NAR’s value proposition.
- Materials that can be used for your new member materials, member communications, for leadership’s use when meeting with members, and in your recruitment efforts.
- Create a repeatable process for others associations’ use.
