Chapter Member
Recruitment/Retention Campaign |
At the November
13, 2007 Chapter Board of Directors Meeting the board agreed in
concept to the following campaign;
Any new member joining the chapter during the campaign period
will be awarded a free meal at an upcoming chapter meeting.
In addition, all new members recruited during the campaign
period will be entered in a drawing.
During the May 2008 chapter meeting one name will be drawn from
the new member pool. That person will be awarded a free full
membership when they renew during January – April, 2009.
Any current
chapter member that renews during the campaign period will be
entered in a drawing. During the April 2008 chapter meeting one
name will be drawn from the renewing member pool. The chapter
will pay the chapter dues for that person when they renew
during January – April, 2009.
Both campaigns
will be advertised via word of mouth, the chapter web site,
newsletter, and e-mail blasts to a variety of distribution lists
including the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce mailing list
(which contains over 400 names).
Respectfully
Submitted;
George R.
