•  Are you tired of hearing about "NO time" and "What's in it for me to be involved?"

  •  Need to recruit new members?

  •  Need volunteers and leaders who will step up for action?

You are at the right place!

Dear Chapter Leader,

As you probably know too well, "I don't have time" is the top reason members give when turning down opportunities to volunteer today.

Potential members are demanding to know "What's in it for me?" — and if you don't or can't spell their answer out, they don't bother to join.

Every year it seems to become more and more of a struggle to get people to step up to leadership.

So what are you supposed to do? You love your chapter —but the old ways aren't working. How do you break out of this cycle and turn things around?

Here's the secret to make involvement in your organization the place to be...

Chapters that run the way they've always been run are destined to fail.

It's time to try something new — you've got to think like a marketer.

If members "don't have time" it's because they aren't seeing the value of getting involved compared to their other options for the same time. Every time they say "YES!" to you, they have to say "no" to family, friends, work and more.

You've got to make joining, showing up for meetings, volunteering and leadership more attractive — a better perceived value — for your members. Today's members need relevant value spelled out specifically for them.

A marketing-based approach will make involvement more fun, your attendance will soar and you may even develop a surplus of volunteers and future leaders!

My name is Cynthia D'Amour. I'm a leadership coach and growth strategist with a passion for marketing. I've also walked in your shoes. I've served more than 40 total years on volunteer boards and recruited more than 250 new members. Currently I'm holding a leadership role in three organizations.

I spoke at my first leadership training session when I was 17 — and today work with thousands of leaders like you every year.

I understand how frustrating it can be to want to move your chapter forward — and not know quite how to do it.

That's why I decided to host this Chapter Leader Resource Center.

You need a place to go to find some answers to your questions — and to learn strategies that work with today's volunteers. You won't find a bunch of pie in the sky theory here. Everything you read here has worked for others — and can work for you too!

  • You'll find articles about how to deal more effectively with today's volunteers as well as how to develop your personal leadership skills.

  • You can learn about the books and CDs I've created that spell out specific how to solutions to help you succeed.

  • Starting this year, you will also find back issues of my Active Member Minute e-zine designed to help you get more members involved which goes out free to thousands of leaders like yourself twice a month.

This web site is a work in progress. If you can't find a solution your looking for, let me know and we'll see what I can do to help you. feedback@chapterleaders.com

Enjoy the articles and feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I would love to hear your success stories!

Yours in Active Members,

Cynthia D'Amour
