•  Are you tired of hearing about "NO time" and "What's in it for me to be involved?"

•  Need to recruit new members?

•  Need volunteers and leaders who
  will step up for action?

You are at the right place!

Dear Chapter Leader,

As you probably know too well, "I don't have time" is the top reason members give when
turning down opportunities to volunteer today.

Potential members are demanding to know
"What's in it for me?" — and if you don't or can't spell their answer out, they don't bother to join.

Every year it seems to become more and more of a struggle to get people to step up to leadership.

"Chapters running the way they've always run have rough times ahead."

- Cynthia D'Amour, MBA

So what are you supposed to do?

• You love your chapter — but the old ways aren't working.
  
  
• How do you break out of this cycle and turn your chapter around?

It's time to try something new...

Today's members are demanding dynamic chapter experiences every time they walk in the door
- which requires some new skills for leaders.

If members "don't have time" - they aren't seeing
the value of getting involved when compared
to their other options for the same time.

Every time your members and volunteers
say "YES!" to you, they have to say"no"
to family, friends, work- and more.

You've got to make joining your chapter,
showing up for chapter meetings,
volunteering and leadership more attractive —
a better perceived value for your members.

Today's members need relevant value spelled out specifically for them.

A new, marketing-based approach to leadership will...

• Make involvement more fun.

• Send attendance soaring.

• Develop a surplus of volunteers
  and future leaders!

Cynthia D'Amour can help you make your chapter
more attractive to today's volunteers.

• Sign up your current and future leaders for the Chapter Leaders Playground.
  
  
• Have Cynthia speak at your next meeting or conference.
  
  
• Provide Cynthia's books and materials to your leaders.
