Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Steps for recruitment and new member education

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Invite all eligible students Send a letter and/or to all students in the Top 40 percent –This is an invitation to join AZ; it’s also an invitation to the informational meeting –Include students from all agricultural disciplines (don’t forget forestry, natural resources, nutrition, biochemistry, etc.) –Cast a wide net: with more members it’s easier to perform service projects, host events and garner support in the college. Don’t overlook graduate students –All graduate students are eligible for membership –They bring experience to the chapter

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting A note about the invitation Ask the dean or respected faculty member to send the letter under his or her signature. A current member should present the invitation personally –Most professors will allow you to do this during a class If not, mail the invitation to his or her campus address

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Timing To maintain active status, chapters must initiate new members once per year. The National Office encourages chapters to initiate new members twice per year in the fall and spring. The membership education process should last no longer than six weeks.

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Plan an informational meeting and informal social gathering Use the letter to invite prospective members Free food is a hook: BBQ, wine-and-cheese, pot luck events allow you to get to know prospectives in a relaxed setting Talk about the activities and benefits of AZ and your chapter Present it as more than a resume-builder: Opportunities for leadership development, scholarships, networking, etc.

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Crank up the public relations machine! Talk it up to your friends, in class, at student organization meetings. Encourage faculty to mention AZ in class, or allow chapter representatives to address classes Reach out: Invite people who are not eligible for membership to attend your informational meeting (i.e. freshmen, recent transfer students, etc.). All ag students are potential prospective members Put up posters in ag buildings Send out an all-ag college invitation Invite faculty and alumni

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting After the informational meeting Personally contact (face-to-face or by phone) all eligible prospective members and potential future members (i.e. freshmen, transfers, etc.) Invite eligible prospectives to a “formal meeting” Follow-up with potential future members ( is OK); reiterate requirements and encourage their interest

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Formal meeting with prospective members Outline the membership education process –Schedule The membership education process should not last more than 6 weeks –Requirements –Expectations Big brothers/big sisters should be aware of process

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Interview prospective members Get to know the prospective members. Fellowship with other members is a cornerstone of Alpha Zeta. You should also be looking for leadership qualities and character. Develop a list of 5-10 questions; ask the same questions each prospective. Be curious. Discover what attracted them to AZ. Dig deeper than “What’s your favorite color?”

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Assign big brothers/big sisters Current members provide guidance and support to prospective members. A big brother or sister can give a prospective counsel through the membership process and help them get to know the chapter. Big brothers or sisters should be prepared to dedicate time and energy to the prospective.

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting What should be covered in member education? History of Alpha Zeta Purpose/Mission/Vision of AZ History of your chapter A test is included in the membership education manual Availability of scholarships National conference information Current officers (national and local) Resources (Web site, e-newsletters, blog, AZ News, etc.)

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Organize a service project This should be organized and performed by the prospective member class The best service projects relate to agriculture and/or involve the college of agriculture in some way Look for projects that provide publicity for the Alpha Zeta chapter; demonstrate that the chapter is active on campus.

Monday, August 25, 2014 New Member Recruiting Host a social event Have the prospective members organize a mixer or social gathering for the chapter –Have a theme (decorations, T-shirts, party pics, etc.) –Give them a budget –All members should attend Make it a fellowship event – members should be getting to know prospectives at this event
