I posted this in BSP, but maybe it's a more general problem.
We are a new online chapter. As in, we just started putting together this chapter over the last 6 months, and about 90% of our 20some members are pledges.
We're getting to the beginning of our "year" - we've just put out a member interest survey, and choose online meeting dates and times, and scheduled our first meeting for the first week in September.
Today, we had 2 members (that's 10% of our group!) decide to leave because of the commitment. Is this normal?
I don't want this to start a chain reaction of everyone getting spooked and leaving...
Any advice for the newbie president?? Much appreciated
