As part of the American Seed Trade Association’s 125th Anniversary celebration, the association is undertaking a new project to gather feedback from our members. The Value of ASTA Membership project, sponsored by Becker Underwood, is a multifaceted effort to collect testimonials of how the association has positively affected its member companies while at the same time demonstrating the value of membership to current and prospective members.

The first part of the project will include the collection of membership testimonials that will be compiled in an anniversary booklet and distributed at the 125th Annual Convention in June, 2008. The second part of the project will include a new feature at this year’s Annual Convention, the Value of ASTA Membership Forum, where attendees will be able to learn how to get the most out of their association memberships while at the same time learn about new programs and initiatives. The forum will also give attendees an opportunity to provide valuable feedback to ASTA staff and officers on association programs and positions and offer ideas on additional services that the association can provide to members.

How can you participate?

• Submit a testimonial for the “Value of ASTA Membership” booklet. Each individual who submits a testimonial will receive a 10% off coupon for designated shops at the Convention host hotel, the Gaylord Palms, and be entered into a contest to win one of two grand prizes (a complimentary participant or guest registration to the 125th Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida or a $250 Amazon.com gift certificate). To be eligible for the drawing, the testimonials must be received in the ASTA office by Friday, May 16, 2008.

• Attend the Value of ASTA Membership Forum at the 125th Annual Convention in Orlando, FL. The forum will be held on Monday, June 23 from 10:15 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.

• Tell others about the value of your ASTA membership and encourage them to join the association and attend the 125th Annual Convention.
