Hello Veronica,

Summer of Growth: Big News & Bright Opportunities from ABC!

"As we celebrate ABC’s 70th Anniversary this year, we’re proud to reflect on how far we’ve come and even more excited about where we’re headed. July marks a powerful mid-year milestone, and we’ve got BIG news to share—from new partnerships to upcoming events and member opportunities. Let’s keep rising, together!"

Your ABC leadership team has been working nonstop behind the scenes to bring your membership to life in new and exciting ways—welcoming new corporate partners, uploading fresh resources, upgrading designations through the Points Grid, hosting powerful webinars every single Wednesday, even processing travel and room block commissions to put money back in your pocket. Your State Managers have been providing endless opportunities for you to network and get to know one another, yet..where are you?

We're doing the work - because you matter.

But now, we have a small favor to ask:

Take part.

Read the emails.

Check the website.

Join a webinar.

Explore your benefits.

Use your membership.

This community only thrives when our members lean in. That means showing up, sharing ideas, volunteering your time or talents, and connecting with your fellow professionals. Whether you join a committee, submit content for the blog or magazine, attend an event (online or in person), or just respond to a call for feedback, your voice matters.

ABC isn't just an association.

It's a movement—one powered by wedding pros like you.
