“We are both thrilled to be a part of this conference,” says Jaclyn, “this presentation is an exciting experiment of reviewing and sharing the successful practices in membership attraction and retention from both a corporate and community club perspective.”

Olga Berejnaia, Fall conference chairperson notes, “Having expert professionals such as David and Jaclyn to present this workshop exemplifies the quality of this conference. Both members and guests can expect to learn new, creative ways to attract new members, and retain existing members.”
