Membership
Members are the lifeblood of our organization – they help the organization fulfill their mission, not to mention, nearly half of the revenue comes from our membership dues. Memberships propel our organization forward, so it is no surprise that increasing membership is a top goal for this organization. Acquiring new members is a never-ending initiative. Every member and event or program we hold is a chance to recruit more members.
