Send congratulatory notes to members who are recognized in their company, community or other organization. Notify a member's employer when a member assumes a leadership role within the chapter. Rotate dates, times and location of meetings. Remember that membership value is different for each person. Include pictures in chapter newsletters.
Members love to see each other pictured and recognized.
Don't try to compete with other chapters-particularly ones in the same area. Make members aware of dual and transfer options. Encourage members to apply for regional and international awards. Ask all members for e-mail addresses. This is an easy, cheap and quick form of communication.
