CHAPTER
OF THE YEAR
Only a few chapters
competed this year in the Chapter of the Year
selection. Each District selected the winners
and announced them at their Winter Events. The
chapters that competed showed tremendous pride
in their membership, their chapter, and the
organization. They had excellent Rider Education
participation, Recruitment, & Retention. The
Chapter Directors took additional training to
better serve their members.
The following
Chapters participated:
From Indiana
Chapter W - the "Diesel City
Wings" from Columbus, IN
Chapter D-2 - the "Johnny
Appleseed Wings" from Fort Wayne, IN
Chapter D-2 was
selected as the Indiana Chapter of the Year!
From Michigan
Chapter Y - the "Wings Of The
North" from Houghton Lake, MI
Chapter Y was selected
as the Michigan Chapter of the Year!
From Ohio
Chapter
E-2 - the
"East Side Wing Riders" from Cincinnati, OH
Chapter Z-2 - the "Delaware
Wing Riders" from Delaware, OH
Chapter Z-2 was
selected as the Ohio Chapter of the Year!
The score sheets from the winning chapters from
each District were then sent to the Region D
Chapter of the Year Coordinators, Roger & Penny
Hurley. Roger and Penny and the Region D
Directors then checked all the scores and,
following the guidelines set forth in the
Chapter of the Year Program, determined that
Indiana CHAPTER D-2 -
The Johnny Appleseed Wings
Is The
2010 Region D CHAPTER
OF THE YEAR

Hey Y'all!! Let's
talk about Membership Enhancement. It covers a wide
area and includes Fun, Member Recruitment, Fun,
Member Retention, Fun, Activities, Fun,
Fund Raisers, Fun, and more. See the pattern
here? Everything revolves around FUN.
Membership Recruitment isn't any good if someone
else in your chapter drops out. Our motto is "Find
A Member, Involve A Member, Keep A Member!"
If we work on retention, we'll get recruitment.
Why? Because, if your chapter is active, having
fun, riding, and keeping the members involved, they
will keep coming back and they will bring friends!
National is revamping the Fun and Activities Guides
and we're all working on spreading the fun. Go to
this link:

and check out all the useful tools to help spark
your chapter and get your members having fun.

Recruiting and Retention Program...

The "Membership
Recruiting and Retention" program is the life blood
of our organization. Why you ask? Because without
members there is no organization.
There have been multiple changes
in the available information, i.e. Chapter Shirt
and Jacket Competition, Fun and Activities Guide,
MEC Duties and Responsibilities. It can all be viewed
on the National website.

Couple
of the Year Program...
|
|
| |
The most visible part
of the Membership Enhancement Division is the "Couple
of the Year Program". Beginning at the Chapter level,
this is a method of honoring couples for their commitment
to the ideals of the GWRRA. After serving as their
Chapter Couple they can attend their District's
selection process.
Later the District Couples may attend the Region's
selection process and eventually the Region D Couple
can move on to the International Couple of the Year
selection process at Wing Ding. As International
Couple of the Year and M.E.D. Coordinators, we
encourage all the Chapters to honor your fellow
Couples and participate in the "Couple of the Year
Program".

Fun
Activity Program...
|
|
|
|
The motto of the GWRRA
is "Friends for Fun Safety and Knowledge." First
and foremost the GWRRA is a social organization
of friends. We have an award-winning Rider Education
Division to help with the "safety" aspect. We have
a fantastic Leadership Training Division to help
with "knowledge". In the Member Enhancement Division
we have the "Fun Activities Guide" to cover the
"fun". If members aren't having fun, they won't
stay on as members of the GWRRA. If we lose them,
they lose out on "safety & knowledge". So, there
is a guidebook that provides a huge number of ideas
on how we can have fun. This is a great tool for
the Chapter Directors to use. Carl & Judy Williams
authored the Fun Activities Guide when they were
National Friendship Coordinators. It's a large document
so we have broken it up by sections. These are all
PDF files. |
