The following is a copy of the letter recently signed by our CSU-ERFSA Executive Director announcing our association with AMBA.
To Whom it May Concern,
We are pleased to announce that the California State University Emeritus and Retired Faculty and Staff Association (CSU-ERFSA) has recently established a working relationship with Association Member Benefits & Insurance Agency, CA LIC# 0196562 (AMBA) as their exclusively endorsed benefit provider. AMBA has an impressive record of helping retiree associations, such as the Retired Public Employee Association of California (RPEA), to increase membership. In these times of decreasing budgets, when pressures to reduce public employee benefits are growing, numbers count in influencing legislators and elected officials to help retain our hard-won benefits.
The added insurance benefits and discount-programs AMBA provides helped thousands of retirees throughout the state and will be one of the most attractive features of our membership. Being able to show potential members the benefits offered through AMBA will help us recruit new retirees.
The several ways AMBA will use to market their products to our association effectively is one of the keys to our success.
• AMBA, at its expense, sends direct mail pieces advertising its benefits to members and non-members throughout the state.
• AMBA Benefits Representatives will, upon request, visit CSU-ERFSA retirees in their homes or virtually via web conference to explain the endorsed benefits as well as educate members and non-members on why they should be members of CSU-ERFSA.
• AMBA will help us identify new CSU-ERFSA retirees.
• AMBA will partner with CSU-ERFSA at State Council meetings and will assist with anything from bags for attendees to refreshments.
• AMBA Benefits Representatives will, when invited, attend local chapter meetings to present benefits to current members and attendees.
CSU-ERFSA looks forward to this partnership with AMBA – a partnership that we expect will increase our membership and, most importantly, our visibility in California.
Sincerely,
Harold Goldwhite Executive Director
