Increasing Membership • Each experienced member recruits a new member • Set up a recruitment table in the cafeteria
Increasing Membership • Talk about your CTSO regularly in all of your classes • Encourage students to join based on their strengths Remember CTSOs are Co-Curricular, not extra-curricular!
Professional Members • School Partners • Local Businesses • Parents • Teachers • Graduates Ask them to be judges!
What Next? • Have regular meetings. Use national websites for information and ideas. • Elect officers and let them run the meetings. • Communicate electronically: • Facebook • Twitter • Group text
