The 2018 Membership Drive is Coming Soon!

By Kyle Wieskus, Membership Director

In the beginning of October, all current members of TOCA will receive an email notice to renew their membership for 2018. There are always some questions and changes that need to be made to company rosters – so please don’t hesitate to send an email to me at kylewieskus@gandgcomm.com or call 952-758-6340.

It was a great year for membership in 2017.  With 215+ members, TOCA membership continues to grow.  Last year’s Young Professional Membership (YP) Offer proved to be very popular and TOCA gained 11 new young professionals (YPs)!  TOCA is pleased to once again offer the Young Professional Program for 2018.  We believe that recruitment of “young professionals” (those 35 and under) leads to the successful continued growth of TOCA. We are excited to once again offer to organizations (any current member company, association, agency, etc.) with two or more paying members in 2018 the opportunity to receive one free, young professional membership to a new TOCA member.

By making membership accessible and affordable for YPs, there are three distinct groups benefit:

• TOCAbenefits as an organization by growing in numbers and our communications contest award applications; the organization is positioned for future success and longevity by introducing younger members into the community.
• Member companies and organizationsare able to potentially recruit new talent and develop the abilities of their YP workforce.
• YPswill see TOCA as a community of mentors, capable of providing them with industry specific skills, strategies and connections they cannot find elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your membership renewal and let’s all do our part to grow our association!
