President's Message

Dear Fellow AACA Members,

Over the years, the business world has changed. Many changes have created challenges for businesses, but out of these challenges have sprung opportunities. It is this key theme, opportunity, in which our board of Directors will focus this year.

We have the opportunity to facilitate several learning and networking experiences at our bi-monthly meetings. We have the opportunity to improve upon the resources we offer our members and enhance the membership value proposition. We also have the opportunity to find and recruit compensation professionals that may know about our organization as well as sell former members on the value of being a member of the AACA.

How are we going to act on these opportunities? We are working hard on a strategy that provides our members with the benefits they are already familiar with, in addition to identifying and providing services and tools that will help make our professional association "best-in-class". We realize this is ambitious, but there are so many resources that can be of benefit to our members, it only makes sense to share these resources with our peers. To this end, we will continue to offer such resources and learning opportunities as:
  • Providing six bi-monthly meetings for our members which focus on key total rewards issues and network with local professionals and national subject matter experts. This includes a half-day forum event and end-of-year holiday celebration (All events complete with catering).
  • Providing AACA members with the opportunity to post jobs on our website for free. Each posting is specifically targeted to reach Atlanta Compensation professionals (Non-members pay $65 per posting).
  • Providing a 10% discount when taking World@Work courses coordinated in conjunction with the AACA and offering four classes here in Atlanta.
  • Providing a LinkedIn group to network, ask questions and share information between regularly scheduled meetings.
While we feel these services more than justify the $120 membership fee, if we want to get to the next level, we aren't going to stop there. Our team is working hard to identify opportunities for increasing the value to our members even further. We hit the ground in January reviewing and developing a strategy to help us move closer to being "best-in-class".

With a lot of hard work, I am confident that we can make our organization best-in-class. However, to be truly successful in a volunteer organization, we can't get there without you. Please know you are always welcomed at the AACA and anything you can do to make us better will always be appreciated.

I look forward to the journey with you.

Sincerely,

Greg Laney, MA, CCP
President, AACA
