11. How to make it work for you
Ask yourself these questions?
Have you had to cancel a class for low enrollment?
Have you had a volunteer that wanted to run for office but wasn’t a national member and was required to be?
Do you have a scholarship program that you can’t currently fund? Or don’t have one in place but would love to offer one to your members?
Want to grow your chapter membership?
Want to send an officer or chapter member to Forum?

12. Answers!!!
Use the SS to fill those last two spots in your seminar (or try and take advantage of receiving maximum rebate by increasing your class size)
Make sure you don’t loose that volunteer that wants to run for President by offering them a national membership through the SS (requirement of 3 chapter officers)
In these tough economic times, make your old or new scholarship program work for your members. Offer “free” classes, do a raffle at a meeting or assist a member with classes towards certification.

13. Win back lapsed membership by communicating your chapter is now a part of the NIGP SS and can offer them added benefits!
5. Send that “first-timer” to Forum or make sure that your chapter has a representative at chapter related activities during Forum week.
