As I plan for my next member visit to Wellington and surrounding towns, a key messages I will be delivering is the need to make the most of your membership, use it to its full potential – after all it only exists if the members are active.\u00a0 It surprises me on visits, when I hear that our e-news goes unread and therefore our members do not know what we offer, what we are developing and what is going in within their own industry.<\/p>\n
It is also very Interesting to note that although we have best intentions of reaching out to all our members, we are a small industry association and we do our best to highlight industry conversations or topics that matter and are relevant.\u00a0 For example we know there is the need and requirement for regulation of our industry, for upskilling and training of which for many is becoming a requirement.\u00a0\u00a0 We do communicate these updates via our social platforms, by the e-news and also face to face members visits.\u00a0 Over the past 5 years we have developed better benefits with business partners, we have a Health and Safety expert, a business insurance expert and our very own employment lawyer.\u00a0 Not only have we developed our own online systems for our accounts to run more seamlessly, but a website that holds a wealth of knowledge on all our offerings.\u00a0 We also provide and organize events – the perfect platforms for our suppliers and sign makers to come together and connect.<\/p>\n
And with constant change all around us we do our best to communicate with our Associate members on topical issues such as sustainability, training and the advancement of new innovations, as we promote and share their good stories.\u00a0 But none of this matters if we don\u2019t have the support the connection or acknowledgement from the industry our sign maker members.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget we work for you, we try to bring you what you are wanting and what we think is needed for the industry.\u00a0 So, for now and the future, I ask our members to make a real effort to keep upto date with what we can offer in benefits or training, what our vision and goals are, and if you want more let us know \u2013 we can\u2019t help you unless you help us, so stay intouch \u2013 your membership entitles you to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
