The Edge You Need to Market and Create Members and Customers for Life

What outreach and marketing activities are you currently using? How are you finding new donors and/or attracting new members and customers?  Are you retaining your existing members/donors?

The rules have changed. It's an entirely new Internet and today's successful member-based organizations are figuring out how to use it. If you're considering a new web presence or new association management software, this is a meeting you will want to attend.

Please join Patrick Dorsey, as he discusses cool (and free) strategies that associations and businesses can deploy immediately to build their brand and create value.
