Membership Recruitment Tips
- The number one reason new members join MBAA is because someone
suggested it to them. Get the word out!
- Encourage current members in your District to bring a colleague
to an upcoming meeting.
- Refer colleagues to www.MBAA.com
for information about the association. Forward copies of The MBAA
Communicator to potential members and include a personal
invitation to an upcoming District meeting.
- When guests attend your District meetings, make sure to
personally greet them and find out what brought them to the meeting.
This information can be very helpful for finding others like them
who may be interested in MBAA.
- Make sure guests receive membership information sometime during
the meeting. Personally encouraging them to join is the most
effective method of recruitment!
- Follow up with guests to get feedback about the meeting and once
again encourage them to join MBAA. Personally invite them to the
next meeting.
Send all guest information to
Cheryl Kruchten so that MBAA can send them more information.
- Keep a link to membership information on your District website.
- If you organize an annual meeting, technical conference, or
other large event, consider offering an event plus membership
option. Give registrants an easy way to not only register for your
event, but join MBAA and your District as well. Contact
Cheryl Kruchten to get
ideas on how best to incorporate this into your registration form.
- People retain their membership because of personal connections
they make to MBAA. Check in with new members periodically and make
sure they feel included. Encourage them to volunteer on a committee
or for the district in some capacity.
