Resource Development April 2015

Introduction NCMA Rio Grande Chapter Last year partnered with NCMA High Plains Chapter for the “Hula Hustle 2014”. An event to benefit both chapters and the Wounded Warrior Project. 4

Purpose Look at how chapters can effectively utilize resources to expand upon traditional methods of generating revenue. Learn about developing relationships within the community and incorporating social media to create innovative ways to “FUNdraise” for your chapter. 5

Overview Providing Value Generating Revenue Community Involvement Model Getting Started 6

Providing Value Chapters are expected to provide value to their members, typically this value is derived through: –Education & Training  Build Skills –Networking Opportunities –Certification Preparation & Testing –Advocacy of the Profession –Leadership Opportunities –Association  Sense of Identity 7

Delivering Value & Generating Revenue Chapters deliver value to members through: –Educational Seminars –Workshops –Webinars –National Education Seminars –Social Mixers These are all opportunities for chapters to generate revenue. 8 Delivering Value + Generating Revenue = WIN!

Increasing Your Revenue How can you expand these events to INCREASE revenue generation? LOOK TO YOUR COMMUNITY! 9

Community Involvement Model 10 Partner With Other Organizations Partner With Other Chapters Company Sponsorship / Donation YOUR COMMUNITY

Partnering With Other Chapters Partner with another chapter to host a joint event. One of the EASIEST ways to expand your attendee base. Double your audience! Split the costs! Share the profits! 11

Partnering With Other Organizations Invite members from other professional associations and organizations in your community to your events. Host events in conjunction with other professional associations and organizations in your community. Partner with other well-known non-profit organizations –“A portion of the proceeds will benefit _______________.” 12

Company Sponsorship/Donation Simply ASK for companies to sponsor (and/or make a donation to) your event! Ideas include: –Free or discounted meeting space –% or $ contributions –Refreshments Emphasize the value that a sponsorship and/or donation will provide the company. 13

How about combining all three? 14 Partner With Other Organizations Partner With Other Chapters Company Sponsorship / Donation High Plains Chapter Wounded Warriors Davis Law Firm “Hula Hustle 2015”

Organizational Networking 15 Your Chapter Other Organizations Company Sponsors Other Chapters

How to Get Started Partnering with other chapters is easy because you already understand each other’s mission. Partnering with other organizations and obtaining company sponsorships is a little tougher… –Value statement –The exchange –Connect online 16

Value Statement Create a value statement or “elevator pitch” for your chapter. What is the mission and vision of your chapter? What does your chapter do and why is it important? Should be easy for people outside of the contract management profession to understand. 17

The Exchange Identify organizations and companies within your community. Think about the value that the partnership can provide each of the parties involved. 18

The Exchange Create an informational sheet or sponsorship form that clearly defines these benefits. 19

Connect Online Your community wants to know more about your chapter! Things to consider: –Do you have a professional looking website? –Do you have an up-to-date events calendar? –Are you “active” on social media? Social media is also a GREAT avenue to connect with members and advertise events! 20

Just Remember When reaching out to your community, you should be able to: –Clearly describe the mission of your chapter and why what you do is important. –Explain the benefits that a partnership can provide and how it can be a reciprocal relationship. –Direct organizations and companies to connect with you online and enable them to find out more about your chapter through social media. 21
