Online meetings — tips for getting members to join

Here are just a few tips on how to get your chapter members involved in online chapter business meetings through your chapter Web site:

  • Give appropriate lead time—not too much that people forget and not too little that people can't schedule around it.
  • Provide instructions about how to access.
  • Provide an agenda with topics about volunteer activities that will interest chapter members.
  • Promote your chapter Web site—especially volunteer opportunities available in the chapter. Get your members involved!
  • Personalize the online meetings. Start with introductions or an ice breaker (e.g., everyone list their favorite type of activity, pie, etc.).
