Join the board

Membership Chair

The Membership Chair aims to maintain and grow the local membership. In essence, this is the indirect responsibility of every board member, but the Membership Chair leads any recruiting/membership drive initiatives. This is done primarily by maintaining tools and reports that assist with communicating to lapsing members and by creating and using tools that demonstrate the value of membership.

Responsibilities

  • Maintaining an accurate and current local membership list
  • Adding new contacts from event sign-in sheets
  • Developing and implementing a member recruitment and retention strategy
  • Attending events and presenting membership materials and answering questions
  • Welcoming new members and reminding members to renew their memberships
  • Maintaining awareness of benefits and categories of membership
  • Develop social programming that connects members to each other and our organization

Nominations must be submitted by Friday, July 15, 2016
