The National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) was looking to electrify its annual Chapter Leadership Summit. This yearly two-day gathering is where the NTMA national board, national staff, regional leaders, and regional staff come together to exchange ideas and tackle association issues. But NTMA wanted to inject some new energy into the proceedings.
That’s where Ricochet came in. NTMA asked us to craft a dynamic presentation on how trade organizations can supercharge their membership engagement. They also needed a skilled emcee to keep the event running smoothly. Ricochet was more than happy to oblige.
We dove into the project, developing fresh workshop content based on solid third-party research and our own wealth of experience. Our presentation wasn’t just a boring lecture – we brought the topic to life with common challenges and five detailed best practices that could be immediately implemented. But we didn’t stop there. We took charge of managing the event’s diverse speakers, introduced each session with enthusiasm, and expertly facilitated panel discussions and breakout sessions. Our goal was to ensure the meeting was not only informative but also engaging and memorable for all attendees. And by all accounts, we hit the mark!
