TOTAL RESOURCE CAMPAIGN STRATEGIC APPROACH TRC 2018 The inaugural Total Resource Campaign (TRC) took place in the spring of 2017 and was a huge first-time initiative for the United Corpus Chris- ti Chamber of Commerce. All sponsorship and marketing opportunities for the 12-month period beginning June 1, 2017, and ending May 31, 2018, were sold by a team of 80+ volunteers during the exciting 10-week campaign. The TRC is a method that has been used by chambers across the coun- try for years and will provide a sound and sustain- able business model for the chamber moving for- ward. In addition, presenting a comprehensive, well-thought out plan for an entire year provides more exposure for businesses who purchase sponsorships. Thank you to all who participated in the 2017 TRC. Your time, support and efforts are greatly appreciated. We look forward to con- tinuing this strategic approach to fundraising in 2018 with a similar Total Resource Campaign. SAVE THE DATES FEB 28 TO APRIL 13 You can expect the 2018 Total Resource Campaign to be slightly different than the first. We’ve listened to our members, volunteers and stakeholders and are making a few chang- es to ensure a successful and improved campaign.
