The New Member Nudge kicked off last week and we encourage all of our leaders to get the details on our website. We will be recognizing the top networks that obtain new members at an exclusive reception in the President’s Suite in Orlando.

Encourage Your Members to Complete the PMN Stretch

By now you should have received information regarding the Performance Management Network (PMN) Designation 30-Day Stretch promotion, a limited time offer for Women’s Council members. As a network leader, we need you to help us spread the word about the PMN 30-Day Stretch to your members.
