A Year in Review 2015-2016
AAHU Success
It’s been a “NEW” year. A year of beginnings with new venues, new meeting types, new programs, membership initiatives, and operational efficiencies all introduced to accomplish our goals to:
- Be financially stable
- Build engagement
- Grow
The results are outstanding with a significant amount of progress toward meeting our goals. Our year started with a financial deficit, a core set of members building and working the chapter with few new stepping forward to participate, and declining membership. Here is how we finalize our year in each of these areas:
Financial stability: As explained last year, we started the year at a $19k deficit and end solidly with a $10k+ surplus to be used for the sole benefit of our members. We will focus on bringing more tools, resources, and programs to help members deliver superior products and services to their clients.
Engagement – A focus on engaging a new breed of benefits consultants while serving our existing contingent is challenging. Our new webinars, socials and meeting venues are a great start. Moving forward, all of us must work together to understand and deliver the greatest value to members.
Growth: Our chapter membership totals 311, a decrease from last July’s beginning total of 325. We’re not alone. Other GA chapters and states are experiencing this same result due to the significant changes in our industry, e.g. consolidation, complexity and uncertainty, ACA and regulatory changes, etc.. We will all need to work together in future years to grow the chapter.
