[Nfbv-announce] Membership Committee of the NFB of Virginia

[Michael Kasey]

>From Mary Durbin and Joe Hobson:

 

Membership Committee

 

Members will consist of one member appointed by the Chapter President to
serve on the Membership Committee. This can be the same person who is in
charge of the chapter membership.  If a President does not appoint a person
then he/she will volunteer to be the Membership Committee representative.  

 

Responsibilities of Membership Committee

 

1.  Attend Phone Conference Call that will be scheduled either monthly or
every two months (to be determined by the Committee).

 

2.  Report and update names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
of all chapter officers, board of directors and Delegates to the State
Affiliate Membership Chair.

3.  Reach out to new members that come to your chapter meeting. 

 

4.  Obtain the White Cane list from your Chapter President  to contact
potential members in their area.  Discuss the NFB philosophy, what your
chapter does and invite them to a meeting.  If you first don't succeed, try
again in the next couple of months.  Sometimes people just aren't ready to
make that next move the first time.  

 

5.  Contact members who are not at meetings to find out why.  See if you can
get them to start coming again.  Retention is the most important part of
keeping a good chapter.

 

6.  Try to hook up new members with a mentor and encourage them to get
involved.  

 

7.  Add new members to the NFBV Announce list and the Braille Monitor.  

 

Chair of the Affiliate Membership Committee is Mary Durbin, assisted by Joe
Hobson
