SHRM SHAPE Membership Goals Updated!

In case you haven’t heard, SHRM has revised its SHAPE membership targets for 2011: Membership Star: 0% - 2.9%; Membership Superstar: 3%+. This is a relief!

Engagement
Now that some pressure has been removed from the member recruiting side, let’s take some time to consider member engagement. Please consider an engagement survey to determine your chapter membership needs. If an online or paper survey is out of the question, then ask for time at your next board meeting to discuss the level of membership engagement. At a recent meeting, SHRM’s director of member engagement suggested reading Maximum Engagement by C. David Gammel. This book may offer some inspiration for you and your board.

Texas Membership Conference Call
We recently held a conference call for chapter membership leaders. Thank you to those who called in! We discussed membership engagement, shared challenges, and success stories. Most chapters are working on renewals this fall. Please let me know how I can help. SHRM Membership Webinar 9/21 & 9/22. An email with instructions will be sent by SHRM. Please contact Jennifer Rower at 210-638-5012 or jrower@woodcharter.com for assistance.
