It Starts with JustOne: Help Grow the IAVM Community

By August 26, 2026No Comments

One conversation. One connection. One new member.

Growing IAVM doesn’t happen by numbers alone—it happens when members and volunteers share the value of this community with the people around them.

That’s the idea behind JustOne, IAVM’s membership campaign encouraging our volunteer leaders to introduce just one new person to IAVM and invite them to become part of our growing community.

With a new volunteer term underway, members serving on IAVM boards, committees, and task forces have an opportunity to help strengthen the association while opening the door for another venue professional to connect, learn, grow, and lead.

Why JustOne Matters

Think about the people you work with every day. Is there a colleague ready to take the next step in their career? An emerging professional who would benefit from a stronger industry network? A peer, partner, employee, intern, or industry supplier who should be more connected to the venue management community?

Your invitation could be the reason they get involved.

Every new member brings new experiences, perspectives, ideas, and expertise to IAVM. And as our community grows, so does our collective ability to advance the venue management industry.

The goal is simple: If every IAVM volunteer recruits JustOne new member, together we can grow our community from more than 8,300 members to 8,500+ by the end of 2026.

Who Could Be Your JustOne?

Look across your professional network. Your JustOne could be a:

  • Peer or colleague
  • Employee or emerging professional
  • Intern beginning their venue career
  • Industry stakeholder
  • Allied partner
  • Venue professional who simply hasn’t discovered IAVM yet

Sometimes, all it takes is a personal invitation.

Give Them a Reason to Join Now

There’s an added benefit for your referral. New Professional or Allied members who enter promo code JUSTONE when completing their membership application can save the $150 one-time initiation fee.*

And we want to make sure you receive credit for helping grow the IAVM community! Ask your referral to list you as a reference on their membership application.

At the end of the campaign, the board, committee, task force, and individual responsible for referring the most new members will be recognized in the IAVM Newsletter.

Who Will Be Your JustOne?

You know the value that comes from being part of IAVM. Now, think of one person who could benefit from the same connections, resources, professional development, and opportunities to lead.

Reach out. Start the conversation. Make the introduction.

Your JustOne could become one of tomorrow’s leaders in the venue management industry.

The JustOne campaign runs through December 31, 2026.
