How to Really Benefit from Associations

Looking for new leads, new contacts, new business opportunities?
Do what nine out of 10 adults do, according to a recent article
by the American Precise Stamping Manufacturers Society of Association Executives.
What works well is to use 3-ring plastic page inserts where you
can insert a bunch of papers, a brochure & other goodies into one
packet, then just insert the entire pack into a 3-ring binder.

3. Or
file the plastic packets in a file cabinet for quick retrieval. Attend
events when possible and volunteer on committees. Note
that many groups still have difficulties with electronic
communications, so reach out with the phone. When you can’t
attend, ask for minutes of the meetings or follow up in the next
newsletter.Take advantage of online aids.
