Key focus areas include increasing brand visibility, managing social media and newsletters, advancing rebranding initiatives, and driving member engagement through campaigns, improved onboarding, expanded use of the member app and forums, and the launch of a private LinkedIn group. The committee also supports the Annual Convention through new member engagement, swag, and entertainment coordination.
