A Letter From the President…
Posted on March 10th, 2009 by Cynthia D'Amour
Who cares?
A year and a half ago I joined an organization.
- It made some big promises.
- I showed up.
- And played their game for a while.
January was my first year anniversary.
- I got the request to renew.
- And did my analysis.
- The ROI promised was not there.
So I didn’t renew.
- No one missed me.
- They still use me - er, sell my email.
- And I get the resulting spam from their sponsors.
Today I got an email claiming to be from the President of the organization.
- I was hopeful - and disappointed.
- It was just a newsletter - the first I remember seeing.
- I was listed as a 2008 new member.
They were a year late and a dollar short.
- They noted my name and company in their list.
- UGH.
- I’m probably going to get another boost in spam mail.
They really need to read my blog!
Makes me think of chapter leaders…do you deliver on the promises you make your new members?

Nicely done! I am totally with you about ‘And played their game for a while’.
IdaApps thanks for stopping by. Thanks for the props.
I always at least give a group a good test drive if I decide to invest in joining it. This one definitely did not pan out.
I am almost brand new to blogging and really like your post, it is really on target.
