CONGRATULATIONS!
The 2011 “ASID #1 Director of Love” was awarded to Tina Raasch-Prost, ASID – Membership Director for ASID Wisconsin Chapter
This first-ever Share the Love award honored the Chapter Membership Director who submitted the most comprehensive membership campaign that demonstrated retention and recruitment strategies used throughout the year to achieve a successful outcome – new member recruitment. Tina submitted the Wisconsin Chapter outline to ASID National that demonstrated the Share the Love campaign efforts made over the past year. With Tina’s energetic leadership and organization, she clearly adapted the campaign to our Chapter, created additional graphics, and promoted Share the Love to the best of her capability. This effort was further highlighted as the Wisconsin Chapter was consistently listed as one of the top participating Share the Love Chapters throughout 2011.
We also wish to congratulate Hollie Schick, FASID, for being one of the top Share the Love recruiters in 2011.
The Wisconsin Chapter is once again being recognized at the National level for our Chapter activities and innovative, dynamic and dedicated members! Our Chapter continues to shine due to the efforts of our member volunteers – kudos to all of those who participated in the Share the Love campaign!
