PGA: The Path to Leadership

The Program General Arrangements (PGA) Committee needs your help to make the 2010 MDRT Annual Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, an enjoyable experience for the nearly 4,000 members expected to attend. PGA volunteers greet attendees, direct foot traffic, answer attendees' questions about the meeting, assist speakers and help with registration.

Every year, more than 500 MDRT members from around the world volunteer during the MDRT Annual Meeting, and they get more out of it than helping the meeting run smoothly. Volunteers find that being a part of the team enhances their meeting experience and is a great way to meet new friends.

Volunteering for PGA is an opportunity for you to network with your fellow members, make new friends and give back to the organization while getting opportunities to learn skills that can grow into leadership positions. PGA is guided by a group of dedicated MDRT members and staff who are available to help every step of the way.

Members may sign up to be 2010 Annual Meeting PGA volunteers in one of three ways:

  1. At the same time as you register for the Annual Meeting.

  2. Online at www.mdrt.org/pga.

  3. Call or fax MDRT headquarters to request a faxable registration form:

    Phone: +1 847.692.6378
    Fax: +1 847.518.8921

 

"I did not volunteer for a PGA assignment until my fourth meeting. That was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life. Once you volunteer for PGA, your MDRT experience is transformed. You make many new friends in a short period of time. And, you get to work and share with others who have the same passion for our business as you do."
— Julian H. Good Jr., CLU, ChFC, MDRT First Vice President and Executive Committee liaison to PGA

"Considering all the new friends that I've made by being a PGA volunteer, the team spirit and team building PGA creates, well I cannot imagine attending the annual meeting without being involved."
— James M. McEvoy, CLU, AEP, Annual Meeting PGA Divisional Vice President

"It is my production that gets me to MDRT and it is volunteering for the PGA that gets MDRT into me!"
— Robert L. Avery II, CLU, ChFC, PGA, Member Enhancement Committee Chair
