A Great Start to the VCAHU Year!!!
Wow! We have started the year on a high note. Our first membership meeting was standing room only, then we followed up with Tony Strickland. Then it was off to the CAHU Sales Conference where our chapter earned the inaugural "Retention Cup" and Best Chapter Website. Just getting started as President, I am grateful to those who have helped lay a foundation that we can continue to build upon. The other important aspect I have learned to respect is letting my very adept board of directors do what they are charged with doing without getting in their way. We have a great board that has risen to the occasion to help us become a chapter others look to as an example of how a chapter should work. That being said, I need your help. We have almost 100 members, which is great; however, I know there are more than 100 health insurance agents in Ventura County. Now, perhaps they don't know about VCAHU. Maybe none of our members has ever mentioned to them the benefits of membership? Just in case our membership isn't aware of my goal as President, I want to grow our membership by 25% this year! It sounds like a lofty goal, doesn't it? Think about it though...how many of you have had to deliver rate increases in excess of 25% or more...I know we all have. So, if only 25 of us brings in 1 new member, we're there. Now that we know the election results, we are going to need the support. A group, with one, united voice is much louder than a group with many individual voices. If we want to be heard, we need to band together...all of us. In the end, I am proud to be able to lead this chapter, and thank the members and sponsors for their support.Wishing you all good health,Chuck
