Member Incentive Program****
Cheryl outlined a new member incentive program. We have given a lot of attention to trying
to attract guests/new members, but, have not really provided any incentive for
existing members to attend, fill roles or bring guests. This is changing as of today. Each member is eligible to earn “tokens”
and at the end of each quarter the member with the most “tokens” will win a
prize (ex: lunch certificate for
Crossings, gift cert for Wendy’s, etc) You can earn
tokens by:
1
token - attending
the meeting
1
token - filling
a meeting role
1
token - bring a
friend
5
tokens - delivering
a prepared speech
5
tokens – joining the club
10
tokens – sponsoring a new member
The officers will track the number of tokens earned
per member.
