Do you have any hints and tips on how to recruit new members to join committees?

  • Dear Janine,



    - I would recommend giving new and especially younger volunteers some reward in the form of publicity for their work. This could, for example, be some news article or 'thank you' letter to their boss to show that they are enhancing their employer's organisation's image and publicising it. This might also have the beneficial feedback effects of both enhancing the employer's willingness to support the activity and further motivating the volunteer.



    - When attempting to recruit volunteers this could be mentioned, i.e. in the publicity sent out which is seeking to attract participation.



    Regards,

    Rob H.
