The Membership Enhancement Division TEAM has been busy updating the Guides and References that are posted on the National Membership Enhancement Division website.  The first to be completed is the New Member Guide.  It has been reviewed and approved by Melissa Eason, Executive Director.  The New Member Guide will be available for new Members who sign up at Wing Ding in Greenville, S.C.  The New Member Guide has been posted on the Membership Enhancement Division website under Guides and References for your use.  This is a great tool to include in the packets you hand out to new Members at Chapter gatherings.

The Membership Enhancement Division TEAM has revised and updated the Fun Activities Guide.   It is completed and is currently ready to be sent to Melissa Eason, Executive Director for approval.  The updated guide is filled with lots of new ideas and games for all levels.  Check the Membership Enhancement Division website for this posting.  It should be posted later in July.

The Membership Enhancement Division TEAM has completed a new Job Description and Qualifications for Membership Enhancement Coordinators at the National, Region, District, and Chapter levels.  These have been approved by Melissa Eason, Executive Director.  The primary duty at each level is Member retention.  When we think of Member retention we usually think of contacting new, prospective, and expiring Members to remind them their membership is about to expire or to invite a new Member to our gatherings.  These contacts should be handled by the Chapter Membership Enhancement Coordinator.  If the Chapter doesn’t have a Membership Enhancement Coordinator, then the duty falls to the Chapter Director.  Information on new, prospective, and expiring Members is sent to each Region monthly for distribution to the Districts and Chapters.   The information on expiring Members may also be obtained from the Chapter gathering sign-in sheets.  The new Job Description and Qualifications provides information on how to handle and report the contacts that have been made.

“We are Listening.  What is Your Solution?”
