MEDA Membership Service of the Month
January 2012 -- According to Stan Soloway, president and CEO of the Professional Services Council, "To get the most of your membership -- for yourself personally and to increase your company's visibility -- you must be an active participant. Being an active participant goes beyond attending meetings. You can have a huge impact on the association agenda by keeping the professional staff abreast of what your customers are saying, what changes you are seeing in your market, and how proposed legislation and policies would impact your business." [“Membership Has Its Benefits” Washington Technology (06/09/09)] MEDA currently has six active committees in which members can join at any time. Committee participation not only builds your network, but it also increases your chance of receiving scholarships and being on the Board of Directors.
