ACUC Idea Fair
But where do you find ideas
to improve 1,000 things - for that 1% edge - to make
your club even better? A good place to start is the Conference
Idea Fair! Consistently rated one of the most valuable
programs at Conference, the Idea Fair provides a wealth
of information for clubs of all types and sizes.
Originally an informal
discussion and sharing of ideas "around the table," the
Idea Fair has developed into an organized presentation
of ideas that are proven winners - concepts that are
generating bottom-line results. In a round-table setting,
delegates present new ideas and approaches that have
worked at their clubs. Whether it's a membership recruiting
technique, menu or recipe, marketing strategy, energy
saving tip, employee relations idea, or building improvement
project, every idea brought to the table has one thing
in common: It worked! It solved a problem or created
an opportunity for success. Going home from conference
with just one proven new idea can pay for the whole trip.
And here's a really great idea- cash prizes are awarded
to the top three ideas presented, as voted on by the
conference delegates. So start gathering your winning
ideas now!
To be eligible for the
prize competition, idea(s) must be submitted to ACUC
Headquarters on the official Idea Fair entry form. Simply
fax the form to the Headquarters office with a brief
written synopsis of your idea. When you come to conference,
bring supporting visual materials (photos, posters, etc)
to illustrate your idea, and 50 photocopies of your written
idea or printed materials to share with other delegates.
If time allows during the Idea Fair session, you may
still present ideas that were not pre-registered, but
they won't be eligible for the monetary prizes. So jot
down all the great things you've done at your club this
year-come prepared to share your best, and win!
