I have gained ideas from Cynthia's books to share with the associations I oversee as National Second Vice President of Theta Phi Alpha Women's Fraternity.

We are very excited to have Cynthia as one of our keynote speakers at our National Convention this June in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

The book reinforced a lot of my ideas. If a situation occurs, I will review your book to see how you've handled it and look for inspiration.

Members can be a frustrating bunch. On one hand they say they want to belong — on the other hand, they say they have no time to be involved!

So what's the real story?

What do members want from you and your chapter?

Leadership Coach, Cynthia D'Amour, frequent speaker at leadership conferences, has scoured the planet to find out exactly what is going on with today's demanding members.

Members Tell ALL is a collection of the most descriptive and "needed to be heard by leaders" stories Cynthia has heard from members worldwide.

Each member's story is dedicated to giving you insight into what you and your chapter need to do to succeed in this no-time world.

At the end of each story, Cynthia drives the point home with a provocative question to help your team tailor this information to your chapter needs
