Membership is an
ongoing process that involves all the members of your chapter. It is what makes
your chapter and the Minnesota Women of Today a vital, working organization. To
maintain healthy membership numbers, we need to continually work on our membership
plans. These plans depend on R.O.A.R., which represents the four main areas of
membership:
| | inviting
others to share in the many opportunities available to Women of Today members |
| | taking
the time to explain the organization to new members, training about the organization
to all members |
| | encouraging
members to join in activities |
|
| promoting
membership renewals |
For
more information and to access tools your chapter can use to promote these areas,
simply click on the key word above. The Minnesota Women of Today have also developed
other tools to help chapters in these areas. Many manuals have been developed
to aid in these efforts. They include the Membership Manual, the M-Night Manual,
Skits and Stuff I & II and the Public Relations Manual. The Membership Management
Committee has also created a Members Learning to Recruit (M.L.R.) training program
that is available to districts and chapters. For more information on these manuals
or training opportunities, please contact the Membership Vice President at mvp@mnwt.org.
A
successful membership plan depends on setting goals for your chapter. The growth
plan is a tool for looking at your chapter's membership numbers realistically
and planning for chapter growth. You will choose a goal for your chapter, adjust
for the renewals you are expecting and learn how many new members you will need
to reach your goal. The growth plan should be completed at the beginning of the
year and reviewed and adjusted periodically. Success System points are available
for submitting the growth plan to the Membership Vice President first and third
quarters.
