I was able to set up a table in the House of Friendship for Membership. I really enjoyed talking to so many people and hearing what best practices they have in their clubs. As I thought about what to include on the table, it was important to me that it highlight something that I felt every single person has an impact on, inviting potential members to their club!

Tips to Inviting Prospective Members:
- Plan a membership-focused meeting where everyone in your club identifies prospective members. Make it a whole club goal to invite a new person each month and help hold each other accountable.
- Communicate program plans well in advance so every person has enough time to invite someone they know would enjoy a specific topic. That means the website too!
- Remember that an invitation is often needed multiple times. Don’t make it a “one and done” thing … keep encouraging prospective members to check out your club!
- When you invite a prospective member to join, make it personal. Learn the person’s interests and expertise and suggest activities and projects that might interest him or her.
During the conference, I handed out some invite cards for people to utilize. If you would like some for your clubs, just let me know. I would be happy to send you some. Happy Inviting!
