Reality Check With Craig Price

Ed Rigsbee (@edrigsbee on Twitter) joins host Craig Price to talk about the ROI of association membership. Many of podcast listeners are either currently part of an association or even in the leadership of that association. My first question: When are you booking me for your next event? My second question: What are you doing to grow or at the least maintaining your membership?

Thankfully Ed’s got a new book called The ROI of Membership-Today's Missing Link for Explosive Growth.  This is what he does, find ways for associations to increase membership by increasing their value to their members.

If you don’t know Ed, he’s also the founder of Cigar PEG which is a charity that raises money for several charities but especially the National Speakers Ass
