President Alan presents a certificate and mug to speaker Michael Bevis. Speaker:
Michael Bevis of Strategic Sales & Marketing Partners was the speaker at the October 28 meeting. He is a senior level marketing and sales, time shared executive. Mike a member of several Optimist Clubs, including Centerville Noon, and is a past Lt. Governor of Zone 14, so he is quite familiar with the challenges of marketing and membership recruitment for service clubs. To emphasize his "Marketing and Membership" theme, he handed out packages of "M&M" candy to the members. He gave a lively and entertaining presentation on how to promote a club. Besides having an up to date website, the use of other media such as texting, facebook, Linkedin, and YouTube can be helpful. Service clubs are facing a general decline in membership, and recruiting new (especially younger) members if vital to club success.
