Museum Reaches 10,000 Member Milestone
Corvette Museum Reaches 10,000 Member Milestone Bowling Green, KY - The National Corvette Museum has reached a significant milestone, as total membership count to date reaches over 10,000 plus members. Since the Museum's opening in 1994, innovative programs such as the annual One + One campaign have helped to increase Museum membership through the support of members recruiting new members. Over 300 new members were recruited through this year's campaign. NCM Executive Director Wendell Strode attributes part of this success to the positive media support that has helped to increase awareness of the Museum. Special events and promotions, Museum Ambassadors and Corvette Club affiliations are also contributors to the membership increase. As this year's campaign came to a close, a special promotion to reach the 10,000 milestone was initiated. A special award was offered to the recruiter and new member who came in at the 10,000th mark. Fourteen year-old Chad Hardesty of Austin, TX and recruiter, NCM member Michael Guevara were recognized with the commemorative 10,000th member gift. "This is a tremendous goal we have met, and was only possible because of team work and member support," stated Membership Services Manager, Stephanie Ferrell. "Our members are the drive that keeps the Museum moving into the future. We owe all of the success of the 10,000th member milestone and the campaign success to them." Of the 10,000 plus members, 1,700 are Lifetime members of the Museum. Museum members receive many benefits, including free admission to the Museum, discounts on special events and happenings, Corvette Store discounts and VIP invitations to prestigious NCM events. Many levels of membership are available for individuals, families, businesses and children.
