Grow Your Chapter

2022 Membership Recruitment Ideas

Susan Lankey, CDFA, researched some fun and interesting activities that you can use to grow your chapter and increase networking.  Check them out below!

Virtual Ideas:

Challenge Attendees with a Virtual Escape Room - Paruzal Games has a version with a host, so they would take 3-10 people and "explore" the rooms and solve the puzzles. Consider a facilitator no matter whom you went with.

Pre-Event Photo Contest - Encourage participants to share something personal about themselves or details about their careers.

Rotating One on Ones - Let everyone know that this will have one on one sessions, just so they're aware & not overwhelmed. You would break out people in Zoom, first session is 5 mins, next one is 4 mins, 3 mins & then lastly two (switching out people each time). This is a real quick way to connect.

Virtual Scavenger Hunt - Like a real scavenger hunt, but things that would be in someone's house. So break out people in teams, and have them search all the items out.

Two Truths & a Lie (This could also be an ice breaker, but it can be time-consuming with a lot of people are on the call).

"Activity" ideas

Meet up, go for a walk/hike, talk about what needs to be discussed for the meeting, and then go out for drinks/snacks.

Host a private class, such as pilates/yoga

There are always drink and food meetings! Who doesn't like trying out snacks, wineries or breweries?
