> Membership Recruitment: Open House Gatherings – Mini Tool Kit
>
> We are offering quarterly open house gathering teleconference calls for prospective members to learn about becoming a member and the benefits of being one. We ask that affiliates, chapters, and divisions post to your social media and encourage people who may not yet know us to check us out! These calls are specifically for those who are not yet members. The membership team will connect anyone who signs up and attends the calls with their local affiliate and chapter.
> The Open House calls are hosted by President Riccobono and other Federation leaders. Presentations about the Federation, who we are and what we do are followed by an opportunity for participants to ask questions in a neutral and safe environment.
> In this mini tool-kit you will find the dates for the rest of the calls for this year along with suggested dates to plug in social media posts to advertise the open house calls. Additionally, we have provided sample social media post for use across platforms. Make sure to change the dates as appropriate when posting to your platforms.
> Let’s go build the National Federation of the Blind!
