The Membership and Communications Committee is responsible for promoting AgGateway membership both internally and externally. We track existing membership levels and targeted goals and provide support and materials to help reach those goals. Since our organization is based on linkages between trading partners, much of our efforts are focused on helping existing members identify, contact and recruit new members that are current or potential trading partners. In addition, the committee is also responsible for managing our primary methods of communication with existing members – our website and electronic newsletter.
