They weren't the largest number of volunteers to work the annual membership drive, nor were they the most seasoned, but they were the most successful. More than 100 Richardson Chamber of Commerce members gathered over two days last week and recruited 164 new members. Receiving the coveted "GodFaddah" award was Ray Niemec, Texas Instruments, whose five teams recruited a total of 68 new members. Dale Litton, also with Texas Instruments, who alone recruited 22 new members, received the "Big Dawg" award. "The result of this membership event is a real testament to our dedicated volunteers," said Ellie Jackson, director of Membership Services for the Chamber. "It's also a reflection of all the great things the Chamber and the City are doing. People are excited about what they see happening in Richardson, and this is further proof of that." Planning and preparation for the annual membership event takes about four weeks. The event chairs spend time drafting their team captains and making sure they are trained to recruit. The captains then build teams over a two-week period and lead them in identifying and signing up new members. Each team competes, cell phones in hand, during a three-hour shift at the event call center, held this year at the First Bank of Canyon Creek Community Room in Richardson.
Chairing this year’s event were: Niemec; Judy Parsons, Community Credit Union; Terry Brion, Ebby Halliday; Steve Moon, Bank of Texas; and Mike Wanchick, City of Richardson. Lela Miller, A Great Storage Place, and Anne Gordon, The Gulin Group, coordinated all the runners that drove the entire Metroplex delivering membership packages to new members and picking up annual dues. "Considering today's gas prices, those volunteers are truly dedicated to the growth of the RCC," said Jimmy Cusano, event coach and vice president of Your Chamber Connection.
