As a member manager, how do you keep your members active in your association?
Most associations face two major problems: member retention and attraction.
Many Studies show that within an association the retention period is around 2 years.
How to improve this period?
The easiest way to keep things going strong is to offer more value, or at least keep the same level of awesomeness over time. This can be a bit tricky for many associations, but don't worry!
Keeping your volunteers motivated, energized, and enthusiastic is key. And hey, why not tap into your members as a fantastic resource too?
They're not just volunteers; they're amazing individuals who can bring so much to the table. They can share their experiences and skills, and that's where mentoring comes in. Mentoring is all about building connections between people.
When you pair mentors with mentees, it boosts communication and strengthens bonds. Plus, it makes your network even more valuable while keeping everyone engaged for longer.
Setting up Mentoring programs is a simple yet fantastic solution.
It offers something special to all your members, whether they've been around forever or just joined. Plus, it's fresh and exciting because each program is unique.
