The Membership Committee is overflowing with great ideas for chapter programming.  One of the best, and perhaps most obvious ways to gain new members and retain old ones, is to over rock solid programming throughout the year.

From ideas for continuing education programs, to networking events, even ethics and FOI-related programs, the Membership Committee will regularly post ideas here.  Check back often!

If you have a great idea — or would like to share what works well for your chapter — please drop us a line!
