Who Do You Blame for Losing Members?
Just published an article getting a lot of action on Twitter and via email.
- @SteveDrake says it “Beats ‘Bowling Alone’!”
- Thought I’d share here so we can talk about it.
- What do you think?
Here’s the big picture…
- One association, two local chapters.
- The City Chapter is losing members.
- The Metro Chapter is growing.
City Chapter blames Metro Chapter for their problems.
- Some former City members now active in Metro.
- And one stepped up to leadership - Metro!
- It’s just wrong!
City is filing an ethical complaint against Metro Chapter.
- For poaching their members.
- It’s all Metro’s fault City is having problems.
- (Get all the details here.)
What do you think?
- I say City leaders need to stop blaming others.
- And acknowledge their role in their chapter’s losses.
- Am I being too harsh?
Makes me think of chapter leaders…does your board assume responsibility for the health of your chapter?
