About Sheri Jacobs, FASAE, CAE
Long before Sheri founded Avenue
M Group, she questioned why so many associations spent their time (and money) pushing information out to its members rather than taking the time to understand and engage them. Over time, she thought, the lack of engagement could impact member recruitment
 and retention. She vividly remembers working on a direct mail campaign during the day and, that evening, moving a stack of promotional mailings from her mailbox to the garbage bin under her kitchen counter. It was in this moment that she realized
 how essential it was for associations to create a two-way street (or Avenue) between their organizations and their members (M) if they wanted to remain relevant in the future.
