READY,AIM, RECRUIT

CHALLENGE: 2010 Chairman Kati S. Quigley has thrown down the gauntlet.

John Folks, last year’s chair- man of the PCMA Board of Directors, may have set a precedent when he chose to donate his Member-Get-a- Member campaign vacation prize back to PCMA—as this year’s chairman, Kati S. Quigley, CMP, has decided to do the same thing. The PCMA member who recruits the most new members during the first 90 days of Quigley’s chairmanship —by March 31—will win two round-trip tickets to Canada on

Delta Air Lines and a five-night stay at any Hilton hotel property. And there are plenty of other chances to win. For more information, visit www.pcma.org/mgam.

WHAT MATTERS MOST

The Convention Industry Council (CIC), in conjunction with the meetings industry’s leading associations— including PCMA—has commissioned the development of a public-information campaign called “Face Time. It Mat- ters.” to identify and promote the unique benefits associ- ated with face-to-face meetings. Industry research for the cam- paign revealed that: Face-to-face meet- ings build trust and relationships.

Both education and training are more effective in a live setting.

Live meetings actually save time and money. Live meetings facilitate problem-solving through a more effective exchange of ideas.

Face-to-face meetings provide the human connection that powers business.
