Outstanding Affi liate TSCRA
NEWS W
By Van Baize, Association Promotion chair
E ACHIEVED THE FIRST STAGE of our goal of 20,000 members by 2020, but
we cannot become complacent. Ev- ery successful organization must continue to make gradual improve- ments along the path to success. The Association Promotion Com-
mittee leaders will meet later this month to update the membership marketing plan. This plan lays out what we will do in the coming year to recruit new members and retain existing members. We would like to have your input on this plan. Texas and Oklahoma cover
TSCRA President Joe Parker Jr. ac- cepts congratulations from Mark Lowery, dairy and livestock marketing specialist, right, with New Holland, for winning NCBA’s Outstanding Affi liate award. TSCRA excelled in recruiting members for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in 2012 and was rec- ognized at the 2013 NCBA convention, Tampa.
338,478 square miles with different cultures and management styles, but cattle raisers in all these areas have the same goals. We need to look at innovative ways to get our message to “honor and protect the ranching way of life” to other like- minded individuals. Grassroots in- volvement to reinforce the benefi ts of membership in Texas and South- western Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) is extremely important. Please feel free to contact me
or anyone else on the Association Promotion Committee with your comments. TSCRA is your associa- tion and we welcome your ideas.
