Are you looking for ways to engage your members? Effectively engaging your board members takes an investment in time. If you want to be the go-to nonprofit in your sector, develop a solid plan, be strategic in how you engage and use your high-profile board members.
Here are 5 ideas that will keep your members engaged:
1. Blogs. Let each member write a weekly or monthly blog.
2. Surveys. Launch a survey that your members would want to know the answers to. Make the results available only to participants.
3. Post pictures. Have members upload their favorite picture from the latest conference to a central photo library on the site.
4. Members of the week. Each week, feature a short article on a member and her contribution to the association or industry.
5. File drives. Have a contest for members to post files to the resource center or library. The most postings or most-useful post gets a prize.
