Here are some thoughts on what my company receives through our active involvement with the GVCA:

• Networking:
  A GVCA membership has offered us an opportunity to connect with peers in the same industry. This enables us to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and collaborate on projects. Networking has led to new business opportunities, partnerships, leadership opportunities and talent discussions.
• Education and Professional Development:
  The GVCA offers various educational resources, including seminars, webinars, and training courses. My team and other Members have learned new skills, enhanced their knowledge, and earned certifications that can help advance their careers. This also allows us to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and practices.
• Advocacy:
  The GVCA advocates for our interests and concerns by working with policymakers and stakeholders. This helps ensure that the industry is represented fairly and that our members’ voices are heard.
• Brand Awareness:
  A GVCA membership will increase your organization’s visibility and credibility within the industry. Being associated with this respected association can enhance an organization’s reputation, and many members use the association’s logo to promote their affiliation.
• Access to Resources:
  Associations provide members with access to valuable resources, such as research studies, industry data, and best practices. This enables us and will allow you to stay informed and make informed decisions that can benefit their organizations.

As Chair of the GVCA Board I am committed to listening and learning about your objectives, challenges, and possible opportunities to see how we can help you.  Our team is committed to your success.  If you have an idea to share, looking for a best practice of would like to get further involved please don’t hesitate to connect with me.
