Online Workshop: Elevating Participant Engagement
Often new members get stuck. They may read, listen, and watch, but they never start to participate in events, networking, or in our online communities. It’s frustrating, because more members participating means more energy in your organisation.
Got crickets in your event or online community? Do the usual suspects come to networking events with few new faces? How about mailbox members? They renew, might even open newsletters, and occasionally log into the website. However, these members seem immune to the many opportunities to participate, attend, contribute, or volunteer.
Likely, these members feel the urge to participate, but participating can feel scary. Amanda Lea Kaiser discovered in her research that participation is the gateway to more meaningful forms of engagement, and she has identified many ways to prime members to participate.
During this session, you'll demo tested strategies that get members to participate - in events, communities, social media, and more. By the end of the presentation, you’ll know the principles that get people to leave their fear behind and jump right in. It is time to prime your members to participate!
Member engagement strategist, Amanda Lea Kaiser, shares key insights from her new book “Elevating Engagement: Uncommon Strategies for Creating Thriving Member Communities”. See these participation strategies in action and leave with a bunch of ideas you can try with your members tomorrow!
