    I managed a pretty big membership program, but nothing compared to Eddie, the Worldโ€™s Largest Child.Standing 40 feet tall and weighing in at 35,000 pounds, Eddie isnโ€™t your typical 3rd grader. In fact, he is extraordinary! He attracts visitors from 10 to 100 years old, from right around the corner and the globe. He was my most valuable coworker. As the Membership and Development Coordinator at EdVenture, I was responsible for the museumโ€™s $200K+ annual membership. Of my many duties, renewal efforts were one of the more substantial tasks. In one yearโ€™s time, along with my team, and Eddie, I was able to grow the membership program by 17%. A lot of creative effort went into that growth including overhauling our appeals. Thatโ€™s where Eddie proved to be a big hand. Every letter was addressed to the family and signed by Eddie. Easy switch, Eddie-sized results.
