Attention GMC Student Members!
PCMA is offering Student members a wonderful opportunity! They are looking to take on an intern through the end of January. The position is unpaid but could potentially be a terrific opportunity for a GMC student member as it is directly helping with the planning and execution of the 2013 PCMA annual meeting.

or to register.
Based on ASAE's bestselling book, Race for Relevance:
5 Radical Changes for Associations and presented by one of the co-authors, this dynamic session will offer a bold, no-nonsense look at the realities of today's marketplace - and what it will take for associations to prosper tomorrow. We'll examine potential changes,
reevaluating your member markets, rethinking your programs and meeting planning decisions. You'll learn practical steps for beginning a revolution within your programming and how to focus less on the "what" and more on the "why" and "how" of your work as an association staff member.
Continuing Education Credits
For every hour of instruction, .1 (one-tenth) CEU will be earned per session you attend. In order to receive CEU credits, attendance at the entire meeting is required.
A special thank you to the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority for their support of our September program. |
