National support is very important, but if you want to treat alumnae like older collegians, there will be resistance. Alums don't necessarily want to fill out monthly reports, especially if the group doesn't meet monthly.
Family friendly and work hours friendly events are definitely a must.
If the alumnae group is geographically located, allow the group to have the ability to have mixers with the women of the chapters in their area. For the alumnae, it's a recruitment event. For the chapter, it's hosting an alumnae event. Win-win.
Accountability - on a local level to the national organization, but also from the national level to the local groups.
