Co-hosting events with other associations can be an efficient way to expand membership for both organizations. Better still, co-hosting with groups that are similar to yours will increase your chances of successfully recruiting new members even more, as they will likely already be interested in what your organization has to offer.
An additional way to recruit new members is to offer your current members a recruiting informational packet that they can give out to friends, coworkers, or other individuals whom they come across that they feel would be a good fit for the group. Inside the informational packet should be pamphlets describing the benefits of the organization, contact information, and a member application.
