In a little over 18 months, yep! has surpassed the 250 member mark. When dues were implemented in June of 2007, we had no idea if anyone would be willing to pay $30.00 to be part of yep!. Thankfully the support from our members has been strong and we are grateful to everyone that has become more involved in our growth and development.
As we start 2009, one of my main goals is to increase the overall value of being a paid yep! member. The yep! value proposition needs to be clear and will certainly be different for each member. For some, they see the value in the relationships that have been created and strengthened through their association with yep!. Others might point to the access that they now have to connect with community leaders and their ability to more easily find events that interest them.
The leadership team has started to devlelop a list of new programming ideas that we are starting to explore for 2009. Therefore, as my blog post title suggests - 2009 is all about you - and we need your help to create events that you are intersted in.
Some ideas are listed in the poll on this page and are detailed below. But what events or initiatives do you want to see in 2009? You can let us know by completing the poll on this page of by filling out the yep! membership survey.
