Video Summary
The speaker replays a key Evolve session for chapter leaders who missed it, focused on converting meeting guests into committed NACE members and retaining them through the full engagement cycle (renewal, committees, board service, and national involvement). Robin Denny introduces her background and emphasizes that membership is the “lifeblood” of chapters because members strengthen programming, sponsorship, attendance, and finances (including rebates), while members gain belonging, inspiration, learning, referrals, and business opportunities.<br /><br />The “chapter secret sauce” is culture—how leadership makes people feel welcomed and included. Practical tactics include clear, frequent communication (especially via social media), micro-volunteer roles (e.g., name tag chair), opportunities for members to showcase their work, celebrating wins, and “divide and conquer” networking by spreading board members among tables. Storytelling is highlighted as a powerful tool to communicate value, with examples like ambassador/board buddy programs and friendships formed through NACE.<br /><br />Robin frames leaders’ “superpower” as curiosity: ask great questions (“Who do you want to meet?” “What do you want from NACE?”) and connect member needs to NACE’s features and benefits (chapters, leadership pipeline, directory, education, scholarships, and discounts). The session ends with takeaways: build culture, sell benefits clearly, and use stories to drive engagement and renewal.
