Today with Renee Gurganus:

Welcome to A Well-Designed Business. Today, I’m talking to Renee Gurganus, Executive Director of the Window Coverings Association of America (WCAA).

I’m so happy to finally have Renee on our show. The WCAA is an association that I have been a board member of for two and a half years and I am so proud of everything they have done for the window coverings industry to provide education, networking opportunities, collaboration and so much more! Please check out this episode to learn the value that the WCAA could bring to your life, even if you aren’t in the window industry.

 

Pick it apart:

  • [12:00] Renee tells us about WCAA’s WISP program and how it highlights the members and links them to other members.

    [13:00] Renee talks about partnering with LIG to offer members insurance options. 

    [22:00] Renee tells us about all of the different chapters WCAA has throughout the U.S. and also virtually. 

    [32:40] Renee informs us about the Jill Robson Scholarship offered through the WCAA.

LuAnn and Renee Gurganus’ Ah-Ha moments:

“One of the really important things that our association does is that it really listens to our members. We get requests and survey feedback and we look at it as a team and talk about how we can implement those requests.” - Renee Gurganus

 

“I want to emphasize that WCAA is an association and has really great benefits, but the greatest benefit is that we care so much about each other. We are a community that really helps each other.” - Renee Gurganus

 

“There is a different feeling at a WCAA meeting. It feels like you’re coming to be with your friends as opposed to a networking situation.” - LuAnn Nigara
