He has actively participated in the committee’s membership drives with great success. He is not afraid to ask for the sell and continues to produce results while contacting new and lapsed Chapter and National members. He does a great job of sharing advice about his process with fellow committee members.
Robert continues to step forward to offer his time and energy to promote membership at Chapter events, at call-a-thons, and through membership drives. And In addition to his work with the Membership Committee, Robert also volunteers with the Chapter’s Speaker’s Bureau!
