By Mara Ackermann, Chair, Residential Member Services Committee
While all of us are feeling the impact of Covid-19, we have sadly only been able to have just one Member Services Committee meeting in 2020. Typically, we meet every other month to seek out the best products and services for our members. We are hoping to have our October meeting in-person, and if not, we will still plan to meet virtually.
In a normal, non-pandemic scenario, we look to provide exemplary services to our members through “in-person” presentations and “in-depth” interviews with the representatives, which now may need to continue via zoom with a new approved meeting format that we are all getting more familiar with.
We began this year with re-grouping and re-organizing. We wanted to take a look at all of the companies we currently have as preferred vendors and wanted to evaluate these to see what we are missing, and also what the membership may not need anymore. Our group very much values and appreciates feedback and suggestions from the membership, so please feel free to reach out to me if you have any great ideas.
Do not forget that even during these unusual times, the store and print shop is open (by appointment only) for all of your real estate needs. The print shop creates things like business cards, stationery, envelopes, fact sheets, postcards, and notepads. Also, the portrait studio is open by appointment only for the members that might need a new headshot.
Just a friendly reminder about our Preferred Vendors at the time of this article:
