Membership Committee
Somebody’s got to do the dirty work! We need to maintain the momentum we’ve already got in signing up new members. Good with the phone and telling a story? We need you. No shy people!
- Assigned goal of raising funds to support the programs of the CCFC
- Create methods for identifying and contacting potential members
- Identify different levels of support i.e. general members in the range of $25 to $100, middle level members in the $100-$1,000 range and well-over $1,000.
- Create programs to differentiate these three ranges and a different level of contact/support commensurate with the value of the contribution.
- Create a short list of members that can be “tapped” to support specific high cost spending requirements of the CCFC i.e. attorney, forensic accountant etc. Consider this special fund raising
- Funnel membership information and contribution information to the Treasurer
- Raise visibility of the CCFC through innovative fund raising techniques i.e. bake sales, auctions etc.
