NCGA to Hosts Recruiter Tune-up Training (10-24-01)

Just like tuning up a combine or a tractor before its peak use, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is tuning its recruiters up for their peak work during the 2002 membership drive. NCGA, along with Syngenta Seeds and Syngenta Crop Protection, will host an Association Membership Recruitment Meeting Nov.29 - 30, 2001 in St. Louis, at what hotel?

The two-day meeting will be full of information to help prepare recruiters tuned-up to meet the needs of both new and existing members, said Byron Keelin, NCGA Membership Services Manager.

"At this meeting, recruiters will learn techniques and tips to help increase membership and member participation in recruitment programs," he said. "In addition, an established recruitment expert will be on hand to provide guests with the latest marketing techniques and how to build a successful membership-marketing plan.

"Also to be discussed at this meeting is the new Association Membership Recruitment Plan," Keelin continued. "Several changes have been made to encourage participation by all members and to encourage state recruiters to design programs to meet their association's goals."

Keelin emphasized state associations are encouraged to send at least one representative to this informative meeting. "If you cannot personally attend we encourage you to have a grower who shares the same desire to increase membership as you do," he said.

The registration for the event must be returned to NCGA by Monday, October 29, 2001.
