For this topic, I just wanted a discussion of ideas that your chapter has thought of or implemented to increase membership or participation in VBMA. Do you hold membership drives at the beginning of the year? Do you have an incentive for people to join (i.e. pay dues for 3 years and get 1 free)? Do you have an awesome kick-off event to drive up membership numbers? What kinds of meetings are you planning that will get members excited and keep them interested? Don't just limit the discussion to membership...if you have fundraising, marketing, or an other ideas, please feel free to share them! I hope this discussion gets our region excited about the new school year, and that everyone can improve upon their already awesome chapters!
