MEMBERSHIP Are you 'On Track' with your IDA Member Benefi ts? By Jane Treiber, Membership and Affi liate Relations Manager IDA has introduced a new e-publication to members, called On Track. On Track is designed to report on news about member benefi ts to different segments of our membership, such as owners/ managers, installers/technicians, marketing/sales personnel, and product buyers. The newsletters are named: On Track Service/Install; On Track Operations; On Track Marketing/Sales, and On Track Purchasing Dept. Each newsletter will contain information about benefi ts or services IDA offers that is specifi c to each of the member types. The articles may link to new or previously published International Door & Operator Industry (ID&OI;) magazine material, to IDA manuals or books, or to websites or other internet resources. The fi rst four issues debuted the last week of June. A blast email will be sent to all members to alert them when new issues are available. Members can select which newsletter they want to view. A fi rm owner may choose the Operations newsletter, but if he/she is also responsible for sales, marketing and purchasing for the fi rm, may select the Marketing/Sales newsletter and the Purchasing newsletter as well. Dealers are encouraged to distribute the newsletters to all pertinent company personnel. On Track is different from the IDA News e-publication in that the IDA News is designed to bring you information about what's happening in the industry between issues of ID&OI.; On Track will serve as a reminder of the resources available to members on a year-round basis. Member input is welcome, and contributed material will be accepted. Contact Jane Treiber at jtreiber@ longmgt.com. 68 Members are on 'Fire'! Amazon Kindle Fire, that is. Plus they're on Nook Color tablet and iPad2. The 2012 IDA Expo ended with a bang on Saturday, May 12 when IDA gave away three Kindle Fires, one Nook tablet, and one iPad2. The giveaways were for Dealers only, and only for Dealers who signed up at the IDA booth on Friday or before noon on Saturday and who were present at the draw- ing on Saturday. Other promotions at the IDA booth included voluntary donations for the Southern Nevada Affi liate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and a putting green challenge – Dollar$ for $cholar$ – whose proceeds went to the IDA Scholarship Foundation. In all, $323 was collected for the Pink Ribbons donations and $460 was collected for the IDA Scholarship Foundation. For his hole-in-one prowess, Andy Pomroy, Windsor Door Sales, won the drawing for the Amazon Kindle Reader. Congratulations to all the giveaway winners at Expo 2012, and to everyone else – you were all winners by being at the 2012 IDA Expo in Las Vegas! See you in Nashville in 2012!
