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:
http://med.gwrra.org/guides/guides.htm
and check out all the useful tools to help spark your chapter
and get your members having fun.

Did your chapter do something
unique for fun or charity or take a different kind of
ride? Did it get a lot of your members involved? If so,
send us an email and include a couple pictures, telling us
all about it. I don't care what it is. It could be a Corn
Maze, or a Hoe Down, or a Poker Run, or a Eating Contest,
or Swum Nekkid in Farmer Browns Cow Pond (if you did this,
don't send no Polaroid's!), or anything else that really
incited member involvement and FUN. We will pick one
chapter and feature them for a month in this spot. We all
have great ideas, so let's spread them around! We care
about you and we want to hear your ideas.
STRUT YOUR CHAPTER!

Member
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. |
