Membership Committee
We’re looking for an out-going member of our group who would like
to help our members feel welcome and plugged in to the Club’s
activities.
SKILLS: Reliable, responsible, people person, organized, able to delegate and motivate others.
A group membership chair’s duties can be as varied as the person
holding the position. Below is a list of suggested responsibilities for
the group membership chair. Other responsibilities can be taken on as
you recruit and expand your committee. Commitment is estimated to be 15
to 20 hours per month but ideally can be shared by others on the
committee. You will receive support from the group’s Excom and
staff in the Chapter Office.
Membership Chair duties:
- Develop and manage a local membership committee (Many hands make light work!)
- Institute a new member welcome program (welcome postcard or email, pot luck get togethers)
- Assist Program Committee with logistics for general membership meetings and meet and greet members attending these meetings.
- Respond to inquiries by members or prospective members about Sierra Club programs and/or activities.
- Develop plan for initiating member recruitment and retention on local level.
- Be responsible for building local lists of member prospects and implement follow-up contact.
- Provide a membership report at each Excom meeting.
