Who Do You Blame for Losing Members?

   The chapter next door?

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?
