Committee Membership

Hello Membership Committee: 

I am going to share this with the community (on websites) and for the conference.  Can you please review and provide feedback? Please let me know if I missed anything. 

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE 

 

• Madeline Stefanou (Board Representative)

• Gary Feldman 

• Kate Krueger 

• Steve Iwanowski

• Bill Crable

• Venessa Griffin 

• Amber Prayfrock 

 

The Membership committee is responsible for managing and enhancing the 90 Mind's membership base. The committee focuses on activities that attract new members, retain existing ones, and ensure that members find value in their 90 Minds affiliation. 

 

The specific duties of a membership committee can vary, but common responsibilities include:

 

1. Member Recruitment: Developing strategies to attract new members to the association. This may involve marketing campaigns, outreach efforts, and collaborating with other committees or teams within the association.

2. Membership Retention: Implementing initiatives to retain current members. This could include organizing events, creating networking opportunities, or providing exclusive benefits to members.

3. Onboarding Processes: Creating and managing processes to effectively onboard new members, helping them understand the benefits of membership, providing orientation materials, and facilitating their integration into the association community.

4. Membership Renewal: Overseeing the renewal process for existing members. This may involve sending reminders, communicating the value of membership, and addressing any concerns or issues that members may have.

5. Member Communication: Developing and maintaining communication channels to keep members informed about association activities, benefits, and opportunities. This includes newsletters, emails, and social media communication.

6. Member Feedback: Collecting and analyzing feedback from members to understand their needs, concerns, and preferences. This information can be used to improve member services and tailor association offerings.

7. Diversity and Inclusion: Ensuring that the 90 Mind's membership reflects diversity and is inclusive. The committee may work on initiatives to attract a broad range of professionals and create an inclusive environment.

8. Member Recognition: Developing programs to recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of members. This could include awards, acknowledgment in publications, or special events.

 

The Membership committee plays a crucial role in creating a vibrant and engaged community within 90 Minds, fostering a sense of belonging and providing tangible benefits to its members.

This looks awesome!  I was surprised by #7 on DEI.  I have no problem with it, but we might want to put it in context of the community.   "Ensuring that the 90 Mind's membership reflects the diversity the community we serve, our constituent members, and is inclusive."   

IMHO this should be a given and not necessary to say.  Nor should it be considered offensive in any way shape or form.
