Marketing

Building on the work of last year's Marketing Committee, this committee will guide MassEcon's Ambassador program to further implementation in 2010; provide advice and oversight for the Corporate Welcome Series; provide oversight in developing MassEcon's role in marketing Massachusetts in coordination with Massachusetts It's All Here; advise MassEcon on enhancing its marketing platform, including social media channels; and coordinate with the Location Support committee on cross-marketing initiatives.

Membership

Retaining and recruiting members remains a priority of MassEcon. Working with the Board and Executive Committee, who have committed to playing a leadership role in membership recruitment, this committee will assist in setting goals for membership; developing our value proposition for various segments of the business community; and identify potential new members to be recruited by the Board. This committee will coordinate with the Board-appointed Revenue Enhancement Task Force.

Programs & Events

This committee will help determine guest speakers at member meetings, develop events that will foster member networking opportunities, including MassEcon's industry roundtables, and assist in developing the topic and speaker line-up for the June Annual Conference.

Economic Impact Awards

This committee will oversee MassEcon's blockbuster awards event for 2010 (The Seventh Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards Luncheon), continuing a tradition of an annual event that provides recognition for expanding Massachusetts companies and visibility and revenue for MassEcon. Principal tasks are to help shape the nomination process for candidates; provide guidance in program logistics - including the Judging Reception for the nominated companies; and coordinate and recruit sponsors.

Location Support

Building on the work of last year's Marketing Priority Development Sites committee, this committee will provide guidance for MassEcon's activities in the final phase of the Market Ready site initiative and other related activities.

• be responsible for the ongoing selection, revision, and updating of Market-Ready Properties for the ReadyMass initiative;
