What You Need to Know to Grow and Engage Your Young Membership

You’re probably watching the average age of the members in your organization increase year after year. In fact, we’ve all noticed more and more white hair at conferences… which is disconcerting when we think about the future of our organizations and ask these questions:

  • Why are young professionals choosing not to join?
  • Where are we going to find our future members, contributors and volunteers?
  • What can you do to engage and retain the young members that you have?

Young members bring in new ideas, different “best practices”, and a fresh outlook. But, how do we attract these younger members? Our membership expert will share her proven & easy-to-implement 3-step process for attracting new members to our associations. This process, adapted from IDEO’s famed innovation method, feeds strategy, innovation and marketing. As an attendee, you’ll hear a thorough discussion surrounding not only how to attract new members, but also how to engage these younger members who will be our association's future leaders.

How you’ll benefit:

  • Pick up a 3-step process for attracting & engaging new / younger members
  • Learn how to harness the power of IDEO’s methodology for other organizational issues
  • Gain proven strategies to adapt this process to your association
