Members Celebrating Milestones

Author: Communications Committee/Tuesday, June 25, 2013/Categories: General

How will we retain members and encourage new members to join? Do you have an idea you’d like to share? Each month this column will contain a Membership Tip – and ask you to give it a try and let us know how it worked. It will also highlight a Local Chapter who will share an idea, program or practice that works for them. As programs and membership information is developed, those details will also appear here. Retaining and attracting members needs everyone’s help. We’d like to ask all LC Membership Chairs and Asst. Region Directors to lead that effort. As the Membership team, together we can spread the word about all New York State Women, Inc. has to offer. Thank you for being part of that team.

This month, we would like to ask every chapter to thank their members who renewed their membership this year. Those who attended the Annual Conference in Albany on June 6-8, saw the list of members who are celebrating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc. years of membership.
