The purpose of the Member Services Committee is to communicate and educate both current and prospective members on the programs and benefits GAWDA has to offer; partner with GAWDA HQ and Leadership to support the continued enhancement of existing offerings and the development of new programs; recruit new members and expand GAWDA’s reach within the industry; and retain existing members by ensuring they are engaged, supported, and finding value in their membership. The committee pursues this mission through three subcommittees — Enhance, Communicate, and Promote — each focused on a distinct pillar of the member experience.
