Alex Hennessey December 2nd Director's Report
Hello UAMCC Members,
There has been a lot that has happened since the last director’s report. The UAMCC has had multiple events like the National Convention and the Environmental and Safety show. We got a new Director who has implemented some cool new programs into the organization. We are at an all-time high for contributing members at 753. All this means is the UAMCC is constantly growing, changing, and taking on new tasks to better the organization.
Oh my goodness was the national convention a hit. The sheer amount of people that attended was out of this world. There were demonstrations, a brand new course on Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning, 27 different classes, prizes given out almost every hour, discounts on discounts from the associates, and best of all it was completely free to attend for contractors. Yes, we know the sound could have been better, but this was the first time we have ever been in this large of a venue so we take it as a lesson learned and will make sure to fix this problem. We have also had the Nashville show hosted by Southside Equipment that was free to attend for contractors as well as the Orange County Environmental and Safety show.
There is a new director whose name is Alex and I have implemented some new programs that will ultimately lead to more revenue so we can spend more on educating our members and the growing the industry. We are automating renewals which means the director can focus on more urgent matters instead of spending a week each month trying to gather everyone’s renewals. The organization has also started implementing a banner program and a badge program which allows for more revenue to come in each month. This goes into the education fund which gets spent on educating our members, helping our members revenue grow, and making the magazine even better. We are also looking into going to shows to gather leads so we can give them to our contributing members as another contributing members benefit. This will be happening throughout the 2017 year.
The organization is always looking for ways to add new benefits to the membership. We will generate more revenue through these programs allowing us to go to shows like the NRA (National Restaurant Association). This in turn allows us to add more benefits to the contributing membership like giving leads based on areas. We want to give you as many benefits as we can and we are always working on gathering more.
