Greetings,
A new term is almost here and that means an action plan for a successful year. A good starting point is to find out the dates of your Council Meeting, Regional Conference and International Convention and start planning to attend.
There is a handy tool titled 12 Months of Marketing & Promotions that I have found to contain a ton of ideas.
Log into your IAIP profile, go to Members Only, Leader Resources, Best Practices.
Here are just a few ideas:
January - membership drive - motivational speaker "jump start your new year" and "go all in". February - safety and first aid - build your own first aid kit. March - Discuss available leadership positions -"Go all In" swag handed out as give-aways- watch member video testimonials. April - Business/election responsibilities covered, but still have fun - theme: elections/legislation - meet the candidates type debate/interview. May - IAIP Week - May Day baskets for seniors - sr. citizen home delivery and visit - organize a beach clean up or help clean a local playground. June - renew your membership - update profile - attend convention. July & August - make your action plan and include creative speaker topics - educate committee members. September - Mini-career lunch at high school with industry leaders - job shadows coordinated and scheduled - Insurance career promotion. October - awards and deadlines - Fire Prevention Month: Firetruck, kids invited - schedule a community service project. November - Winter safety - adopt a needy family for the holiday- holiday fundraiser or food drive - I CAN series event. December - Giving Back: toys for tots - deployed soldiers - cookies exchanges - card writing services for senior citizens - networking social visiting local holiday light displays
Your marketing team is always available to assist with any questions you may have.

Greetings from your Region VII Membership Team.
The membership contest is still going strong and as of the end of March, we have 117 new members with 92 of those members being brand new members!! That is great news, but we would love more of course so I encourage all to really push to have that number increase.
With our Hub Regional a day ahead of the International Convention, I would like to encourage all our members to add a photo to their IAIP Profiles. I know that many times I recognize a name but not familiar with a face, so if we all add our photos to our profiles, we can connect easier with others from the various regions. Go into your profile and update ASAP so IAIP members can review and look forward to connecting with various members.
I would also like to remind those members who have a renewal date coming up to please watch for your email from IAIP and renew as soon as possible. You can review this on your profile. Many members have the 6/30 renewal date which is approaching in the next couple of months.
My team and I are here to assist in any way possible, so please feel free to reach out with any questions and ideas. My email is ajholmes277@yahoo.com.
Looking forward to seeing all at the HUB and wishing all attending safe travels.
