Could this work in our club?
- Prospective members, volunteers, partners, alumni and community participants curious about deeper involvement. Use when the club can describe its actual member experience and current participation pathways truthfully.
Before you start
- A board-approved pathway matrix covering membership, volunteering, events, partnerships, time, cost and eligibility.
- Accessible campaign destinations and a secure interest form with separate purpose and contact choices.
- A response standard, named pathway owners and escalation for complaints, discrimination or safeguarding concerns.
At the end: Acknowledge the selected pathway within two business days, offer one relevant human conversation and close or re-permission the record when the person makes a decision.
