Sponsor and Member Campaigns
Managing Director Ed Avis reported that the fall effort to secure more sponsors has increased the total number to 16, and he aims to add at least four more.
The membership campaign is two-fold: First, existing members are being asked to approve their directory listing and consider becoming paid members. Second, new members will be sought from among shops not affiliated with IRgA, RSA, or ReproMAX. This campaign will play out over the coming month.
Plans for 2015 Convention
The convention will be held in Atlanta on April 9-11. The hotel is the Grand Hyatt Atlanta, which will provide outstanding trade show facilities and affordable rooms. The focus will be on the emerging technologies facing the industry.
