Next January, PCMA Convening Leaders will be held in Nashville which is well-known as Music City.  As we look forward to that event, the Membership Committee has chosen a song of the month to highlight with each e-newsletter.

Song of the Month: “Leaving on a Jet Plane”  Peter Paul & Mary

One of my favorite benefits of my PCMA membership is the PCMA News Junkie email that arrives in my mailbox each day.  This is a great way to quickly get updated on changes in the industry, the latest updates on trends and factors that affect us and a professional or personal to aid in our effectiveness.  I find these are great to read while I’m waiting for a flight to board, an Uber or Lyft to arrive or a conference call to begin.

Currently, we have recruited 48 new members year to date, putting us at 16% of our goal. We still need 252 new members to hit our goal of 300 by December 31, 2017. Additionally, we have secured 139 renewals year to date, which is 17% of our goal of 800 renewals by December 31, 2017. We still need your help to keep us taxi-ing down the runway until we reach our final destination in our membership recruitment and renewals.
