This is the time when we need to give some respite, especially amidst the second wave. So our leadership team decided to give 40 per cent discount to members on membership renewal. It’s not a big amount but it’s just a way to say that we are there for our members. With rising infections, we are actually back to ground zero. there is limited business right now for members. We want to motivate our members, do more outreach with them so that we can support them. Educating the staff is really important. We will look forward to doing more webinars on how to cope up with the pandemic. We have to stay together at this time and move forward with positive thought process.”
