Getting the Most Out of Your MNSSPA Membership

I have often heard members and non-member alike say, “What do I get with my membership”?  I’ve answered them in so many different ways. Membership value is different for each individual.  Some of you are members because of the great educational opportunities, the legislative advocacy that MNSSPA provides, networking and friendship, or just because you feel that it is important for you to support your industry and stay connected.  That brings me to the topic of this message . . . Getting the most out of your membership.  Staying connected is probably the least discussed reason for being a member and probably one of the most important reasons.  MNSSPA offers so many ways to stay connected such as its website, networking through events, publications and much more.  Taking advantage of the connections you receive with your membership will help YOU get the most out of YOUR membership. Check out the tips I’ve listed below.  

Tips For Keeping Connected:

• Visit the MNSSPA website and other industry websites at least twice a month if not weekly.
• Attend industry events, such as HairWorld, America’s Beauty Show, Heartland Beauty Expo, MNSSPA Salon Professional Sessions Learning Track Education, and region education events.
• Read! Yes I said READ industry publications whether printed material or online. There is always something new that you can learn or put to use in your career by checking out all of that ‘stuff’ in your mail boxes. Besides, this way you can stop things from piling up!
• Update your membership profile regularly so we can keep you connected. Psst . . we’ve noticed that a lot of you don’t have email addresses listed and WOW do we get a lot of bounce backs when we send out information via email. Click here to update your profile now!
• Let us know your connection preferences:  Email newsletter, online newsletter, printed newsletter, or other forms of communication.
