Meet our Membership Engagement Committee, Upcoming Events & News ARCS Update Vol 6 | Update 3
February 8, 2021 | ARCS NewsMeet the Membership Engagement Committee
Meet the ARCS Membership Engagement Committee: Elena, Erin, Faith and Madeline! We’re the folks who want to know who makes up our membership and the best way to serve YOU. We work with other committees and the Board to assess the needs of our field to provide more to the ARCS experience. You might have seen our latest project in your inbox recently, the 2021 Membership Engagement Survey. We want to hear from you, so that we can improve our work, our programs, and above all else, prioritize your needs. The best way to help us do this is to fill out that survey by February 28. The results will help us make sure that we’re doing right by our membership. We are busy at work to know more and to find the best ways to engage and support our members. Social Media is next! We know how important the digital world is, especially now, and we want to take advantage of these channels to reach out and hear from you. We are starting that initiative with an Instagram takeover this week, so be sure to follow us over on the ARCS instagram account.
We encourage you to reach out in the future: e-mail us at info@arcsinfo.org!
ARCS is all of us!
Your friendly Membership Engagement Committee
