NYSCATE Corporate Council Focus Group Call for Participants

NYSCATE is very fortunate to have a robust Corporate Council of over 40 members.
http://www.nyscate.org/about-us/corporate-council

As a part of our commitment to our partners, NYSCATE facilitates focus group sessions with our Corporate Council to discuss key areas in the development and implementation of their various products and services for our members. Usually, we conduct these sessions in person at the annual conference. For 2020, we are hosting these focus group sessions virtually from November to February. These sessions will be held via Zoom and run for 90 minutes and are very interactive.

The intent of these sessions is to provide participating companies with insights into what they feel are critical issues and questions for their product, direction, and marketing strategies. Companies determine what feedback they are looking for and our role is to give them honest and constructive feedback to better their service or product. These companies contribute to the overall success of NYSCATE through their financial, technical, and instructional support. The experience is valuable for both the panel attendees and companies.

Our corporate council partners look for engaged NYSCATE members to interact and provide assistance. if you are interested in participating as a focus group attendee for November or December. We will put out another call for participants for January and February dates later this year. For additional information, please email Sean McDonough at [email protected]

Thank you!
