First
Citizens wraps up NCCBI's
best-ever membership campaign
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 many of these membership
recruitment events. They have been held in Cullowhee,
Hendersonville, Greensboro, Reidsville, Sanford, Asheboro,
Skyland, High Point and Fayetteville. That's in addition to
the 22 Area Meetings.
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."
The award was presented to NCCBI Development Director Rosemary
Wyche at the organization's annual meeting, which was held in
conjunction with the meeting of the Council of State Chambers
in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
