Three Chapters Add State Membership Programs
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Three USCC state chapters that have added state membership programs in the past year presented a roundup of how and why they developed their memberships and fee structure at the second quarter All-USCC Chapters call in April.
Wayne Koeckeritz of the Tennessee Composting Council (TNCC) (membership info here), David Fridland and Monique DiGiorgio of the Colorado Composting Council (COCC) (membership info here) and Jenny Trent of the Iowa Composting Council (IACC) (membership info here) all discussed their membership models. All have planned or are planning membership drives for their states.
Chapters have separate state membership models from USCC; though people in their state can join USCC to get USCC benefits, it does not convey “dual” membership in both the chapter and national organizations. Several chapters do not yet charge any state-level dues, and USCC is hoping to pilot a single-level dual membership program with one of these states in 2022.
Of USCC’s total membership, 52% is from a chapter state! Visit https://www.compostingcouncil.org/page/StateChapters to see all of our chapter states.
