How Creating a “Welcoming Experience” Can Help Elevate the AGC Brand, Grow Membership and Support Strong Retention
AGC Chapters recognize the importance of providing exceptional service to members, no matter where the member may be located. According to a new Statement of Support by the ELC Board, a welcoming experience should include an introduction from the member’s “home” chapter to the host chapter located in the area in which the member intends to work. The host chapter staff should be courteous, responsive, and helpful in their communications with the AGC member. And, they should provide information and access to chapter resources to the degree that they deem appropriate.
During this session, you’ll hear from a panel of ELC members about how they welcome visiting members to their chapter, their approach to engagement with the visiting member, and how they demonstrate value and sometimes even “close the sale”. Come with questions and your ideas about how chapters can work together to elevate the AGC brand across the entire network.
