Do you struggle to get more members involved because folks claim they don’t have time?
If you do, consider this…
Too often, volunteer leaders and association staff who also have a time-crunched life, often accept no time at face value.
People would be more involved in your association if they had more time, right?
Not necessarily.
No time decoded means no relevant value.
Think about it…
People make time for that which is important to them.
Don’t take the easy route and just assume everyone is too busy.
According to US government research, more than one in four Americans volunteered for the last EIGHT years.
- If you want more volunteers, your volunteer opportunities and how you offer them are the problem.
- Americans are volunteering – just not for you.
It’s time to get more strategic!
If you make potential members or volunteers offers relevant to them, they will have time to help.
