  1. How to Succeed When all Looks Lost Or…Is it possible to do CPR on a chapter that is crashing? (Chapter Participation Rejuvenation)

  2. What does a chapter need to exist? • Members…Empty rooms aren’t much fun! • Leaders…How Many? Which positions?

  3. What does a chapter need to THRIVE? • Enthusiasm • People who want to be together • People who want to be together with all members…not just their chosen few • Rides, Rides, Rides, and more Rides. • New members = New enthusiasm = New Leadership • Commitment to be involved! Do something!

  4. What does a chapter need to THRIVE? • Keep your members. They are a prized possession. Members just don’t fall out of the sky waving a sign saying here I am. Cherish them! If they go missing…find them! • Leaders and members who embrace the ideals of GWRRA. You have to be a believer. Not everyone is a fit.

  5. Chapter Directors…Meet your Chapter! Know Them! Care! • At gatherings, have you talked to each person? • How many phone calls have you made to people you have never seen at a gathering? • Are you working your Area Report List? • Can you put a face with each name? Have you tried?

  6. You have to bring ENERGY! • Enthusiasm is key. • Positive Energy creates Positive Energy • It isn’t the message but the delivery. • Example: I love you…I love you too.

  7. Can you Hear me Now? • Volume • Tone • Cadence

  8. Why do you hold your position? • No one else would do it? • I was asked so I said I would take the job? • I was weak and couldn’t say no? • I wanted to get involved and this was a good way to start? • I have a desire to be an active part of my chapter? • I want my chapter to be vibrant and I want to be part of making that happen?

  9. Build a Team who wants to: • Serve the membership • Assume the duties of their position. Don’t put someone in a job to just fill it. It is a recipe for disaster. • Give a reason for people to be part of the chapter. If you don’t give them a reason to come they will stay home and watch paint peel.

  10. Build a Team who wants to: • Not just have fun…but make it fun. You have to put forth an effort to make a difference. • Laugh, Ride, Laugh, Share, Laugh, Smile, Laugh and take care of others.

  11. Recruitment and Retention • Chapter existence is dependent upon it. • An active and positive MEC is KEY to success. If no MEC…someone has to do it and who does it when no one else will? • Real life examples of how chapters have risen from the ashes or maintained a healthy chapter.

  12. My Take/My Opinion/My Suggestion • 1. RIDE…It is the reason people joined and the reason they will join. • 2.Use the Area Report List…Grow your chapter with it and retain your members using it. • 3. Start using the Chapter of the Year program as a tool. Even if you don’t submit the program is centered on everything an active chapter does.

  13. Conclusion • Healthy chapters are enthusiastic chapters. • Leaders need to care about their members and work for the good of them. Don’t just exist…encourage and get them moving. • Riding/traveling is the key to Fun and Success. • Fun will get you members and keep them.
