4. Background of Membership Committee
This committee promotes and expands the use of eBusiness in agriculture by ensuring continued, strategic membership growth of AgGateway.
We work to attract and retain new members that come both from existing industry segments (where AgGateway is already at work), as well as in new industry segments. Through the use of education and mentoring, we encourage new members to participate in AgGateway as soon as possible after joining, and to position them to benefit from implementing AgGateway standards, guidelines and enabling services.
The committee works with the AgGateway Operational Board and each council on annual membership goals, and provides support to councils to achieve those goals.
This is a little off point but pretty close to what we do.
