Holly, you are breaking up now.

I'm very new to the exec association role, and appreciate this group for the knowledge share. Hope to add to the conversation in time.

Yes.

Jessica, what platform did you use?

The platform was NTT/Arkadin

Thank you Jessica!

Anytime!

Jessica, thumbed up to you. Great job for MGFA!

Thanks Gary!! I hope your dad was able to join!

Yes - critical for NY bankers - resource page and our daily focuses on COVID

Nice to meet everyone! I need to jump off for an 11:30 meeting - but thank you NYSAE for putting this group together. I'd be interested in talking to everyone another time about how renewals processes are changing and how they are highlighting overall value. Have a great weekend all.

Has anyone been hosting virtual happy hours? If so, how are you handling it? Are you capping attendance and how are you ensuring everyone can engage without talking over one another? Did people enjoy the networking time - and are you doing it again?

We've done virtual Happy Hours, but with Staff only.

Has anyone had anything "sponsored" with the happy hours? On of my members suggested that.

I need to get ready for a call at noon. Nice seeing everyone. Stay safe!

Same to you Diane! A pleasure hearing about your experience and how others could adapt for their needs

sounds good :-)

To speak to Cate's question, we are deferring 60 days to allow members to deal with the current situation, but also maintain member benefits. Our messaging is tailored to note as an industry, we need to stick together in order to get through this time. We have a lot of service and construction members and there are so many gray areas state to state that our members turn to us for. So, we need to open up our communications to include nonmembers in order to touch the entire industry.

It was a pleasure "seeing" you all! I have to leave for a noon meeting, but thank you Holly for allowing me to be part of this!

GrowthZone sponsored a webinar yesterday on communicating with members. Addressed renewal messaging. Don’t know if the recording would be public.

I agree with what Karen just said. We are seeing the same outcome

Yes. it’s actually an opportunity to learn so much for colleagues. same would be true for our members in their own efforts.

Thank you
