I've been slated to run as the VP:membership for my alumnae chapter. I don't believe anyone else has been slated so I assume I will get the position (there were two other people running but both dropped out). I have never held a "membership" position. Does anyone have any experiences they can share if they've held such a position in their chapter? Our current active group is about 30 women. We have over ** 800 ** alumnae in our area. Obviously, one of my goals would be to figure out how to get more people to come out. Currently we have a newsletter, a website (which I run) and a full schedule of meetings. Here are some of the things I have in mind (opinions welcome!):
1. A survey of a random sample of the 800 alumns to identify their interest in activities and level of awareness of the a. chapter. Since I do market research for a living, I have tools which will allow me to do this via email, but for those without email addresses it is snail mail all the way.
2. The previous VP: Membership surveyed the current group informally for their interests etc but I don't believe this was shared with the group (i.e. susie and becky both like waterskiing etc). I thought this would be good to encourage interaction.
3. We have the website which is current to the day with out activitues. I also have begun taking digital photos to add interest
??? This is where I draw a blank. If this topic has been discussed to death, just post a link and I'll take it from there.
BTW: here is our (just revised last week) site. I think we are pretty active!
