Campaign
produces 470 new members for NCCBI
Although
final numbers have yet to be tallied, it’s apparent that the
First Citizens Bank folks produced the best-ever membership
campaign in NCCBI’s 58-year history. At last count, the bank
had brought in 383 new members.
Added
to other, ongoing membership recruitment efforts, including
those by members of the NCCBI Board of Directors, 470 new
members have joined since April 1. That raises total
membership in NCCBI to more than 2,200.
The
enthusiasm of the First Citizens team is a major reason for
the success of the campaign. Another reason is the extra
effort that’s been put into promoting NCCBI to business
people throughout the state during informal receptions.
Since
April 1, First Citizens Bank leaders, NCCBI board members and
NCCBI staff have staged membership recruitment events in
Cullowhee, Hendersonville, Greensboro, Reidsville, Sanford,
Asheboro, Skyland, High Point and Fayetteville.
Two
major membership recruitment events are coming up soon. One is
planned for Jan. 25 in Winston-Salem at the N.C. School of the
Arts. The evening reception will be sponsored by NCCBI board
members in Winston-Salem. The second will be Feb. 15 at White
Oaks in Charlotte. NCCBI Chairman Mac Everett of Charlotte,
the First Union Bank executive, will be the main host for that
event.
NCCBI’s
recent success in membership recruitment has even attracted
some national attention. The Association of Membership and
Marketing Executives recently honored NCCBI and the California
state chamber by presenting its top award for “Highest
Market Share Growth.”
