Member Driven
- NAHU should establish different member levels to include producers and non-producers. This alone will increase membership dramatically.
- We should establish Years of Service Discounts instead of discounts for joining. This will increase our retention rate significantly.
- We should establish member focus groups from across the US to ensure we are meeting the needs of our members today and tomorrow.
- We should expand the products and services we provide to assist our members as they have had to expand their business portfolio.
- NAHU 2020 - We need to establish long term goals to ensure we will continue to meet our members changing needs
- A unified focus by the Board of Trustees will make us stronger today and in the future
- We need to expand the services we offer to include
- Technology Solutions, HR Administration, Worksite Marketing, Expanded Medicare Support, Property and Casualty & Financial Services
