Membership Committee
Every campaign the branch runs starts with the same question: who's with us? This committee finds the answer.
“A branch is only as strong as the members who show up for it — our job is to make sure showing up is easy.”
The Membership Committee recruits new members, keeps renewals current, and makes sure every new member actually finds their way into a committee, an event, or a role that fits them.
