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:

Recruitment
inviting others to share in the many opportunities available to Women of Today members
Orientation
taking the time to explain the organization to new members, training about the organization to all members
Activation
encouraging members to join in activities
Retention
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.

Growth Plan

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.
