The Membership/Marketing Committee guides the member retention and recruitment strategies of the Oregon-Columbia Chapter. Recognizing that a strong and active membership base is best achieved by providing services responsive to the needs of our members, it is also the task of this committee to provide guidance and policy direction to assure that chapter initiatives, products, and services support the business success of our members. Created in 2007, this new committee is expected to meet approximately four times a year, with task-specific subcommittees created on an as-needed basis.
