Comments from past conference attendees: "Last year was my first year and we have a very new call center. The information I gained at the conference was invaluable. Not to mention all the times I have called on all of you I met there last year as we were making decisions for the call center this year. I can't wait to see everyone in Jacksonville!" Shannon Baldwin County Commission This conference and the people I have met have been the impetus to keep moving our call center forward. We have been around for 19 years so it's easy to get in a rut. Learning about new initiates, products, strategies, etc. has been invaluable to me as a manager as we strive to improve our center. Whether your center employs a handful of people or hundreds, whether you are 311 or 7 digit, if you are new to the business or have been around for a long time, you will meet someone who has the same problems and/or successes as you. And since we are all municipal employees, we can all relate to our special challenges that private call centers don't "enjoy." Marilyn Louisville, KY I will be attending this conference this year for the 3rd time. I took over managing our call center in 2004 and have found this group of people to be invaluable in assisting me to make improvements. It really is a great place to network and learn best practices from peers. It also has given me confidence - knowing that our call center is not alone in some of the challenges we face. Sometimes other city departments will question how we do things or why we don't do them differently. It certainly helps my credibility when I can say "I've talked to other cities and they have the same issues. Here are some things they've done and lessons they learned...." For some reason, the "administration" is more willing to accept suggestions when they know it worked somewhere else first. Whether you are a new call center or have been around for a while - you will definitely want to come to this conference. The people you meet will be a continual resource for you throughout the year, beyond these 3 days. It is so reasonably priced (AGCCE members get in for a discounted rate of $125!). And who isn't ready for a trip to Florida after this terribly cold, long winter! Cindy City of St. Louis, Missouri |
