Build it, they will come…Maintain it, they will stay

Build it they will come….Maintain it they will stay

This will be Region One’s focus for the next couple years.

Great concept right? I thought so. When I began thinking about it I realized….. you need someone
to build it.

Hence this year we’ll be concentrating on Retention and building.

Some may say I have a backwards way of thinking.. I tend to want to believe it is a realistic
approach. We need to have a chorus that will attract the members we want before we go recruit
blindly.

I challenge you to answer a few simple questions:

Who are you?
How do you establish trust in your chorus?
What attracted your current members to your chorus?
Do you know why members have resigned?
How passionate are you?
Are you good a communicator?
What do you want to build?

Then by working together you can build the chorus you want to be…. Attract the members to
support your individual chorus….. without losing current members.

Let us all become so passionate that when you hit the right notes and it rings making your teeth
hurt; your ears buzz ; your hair stand up….. so many chills so little time; you just can’t help but
share it with the world

Your Membership Resource staff (Judy Lang; Annette Landry; Marie Riley) and myself look
forward to working with you! Call on us… any time !

In Peace and Harmony,
