How to Recruit Members

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 10:33AM

Recruiting new members can seem difficult, especially if you've just started a club. Here are a few tips:

1. Spread the word online. There are many sites available for groups who want to organize online (Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, Meetup.com, etc.) Use as many as you can manage. You don't have to use all of the services each provides, either. The goal is to show up in the results when someone searches for "Ayn Rand," "Atlas Shrugged," "Objectivism," or any other related term. You want those people to find you.

2. Show life. Instead of posting a flyer about your group that only states when you meet, also include the date of the next meeting, and post a new flyer after each meeting. If your group has a space on multiple social sites, update them all with the next meeting at the same time. These actions demonstrate that your group is active and alive.

3. Keep meeting dates and times consistent. One of the hardest tasks for a group organizer is finding the best meeting time. Everybody has different schedules, and it can be impossible to find a time that works for everyone. Ask your regular members for the days and times that work for them, find a consistent day and time that works best, and then stick with it. If you continually adjust your meeting to accommodate the schedules of a few individuals, you make it difficult for a potential member to know when you meet.

4. Involve yourself in relevant topics. Short letters to the editor or statements in the college student newspaper with your Objectivist group in your signature will bring exposure to your group and show how Objectivist ideas can be applied to current events. Keep your statement short and to-the-point, and treat it merely as a way to toss out a few ideas for public consumption.

5. Use the activities fair. Most schools have an activities fair once or twice a year for campus clubs to advertise themselves to students. Many students learn about clubs this way. Find out when the fair is, reserve a spot, and show up with information about your club and about Objectivism.

Gaining a new member has two sides: You reaching out to them, and them deciding to come to you. Many people with an interest in Objectivism are busy, goal-oriented people, so you might not see an immediate effect from your efforts. Consistent recruiting over time, however, does pay off and is the only way to build a club.

Darren Cauthon is the president of the Kansas City Objectivists.

Most people are familiar with 2222222222certain essentials which are needed to pack for vacation. One such essential is the perfect little evening Authentic Louis Vuitton Bags for a night on the town, be it a sequined micro mini for the club in Paris or a gauzy shift for the Caribbean lounge. You will also want to pack Chanel Bags Outlet that go with the perfect little Louis Vuitton Outlet as well as most of the other outfits you will be packing. To be sure, you will also choose with great care the essential cosmetics and hair products, so as not to overwhelm your luggage but making sure to have exactly enough of what you can’t live without. You may not have given enough thought, however, to the Burberry Scarves themselves! Sure, you know what to bring (or at least you think you know), but have you thought about the “to and from” of the trip? Consideration should be given to the ease with which you would like to travel, as well as the style and comfort of your Burberry Scarf. There are a number of great Louis Vuitton Outlet you can consider for your trip, and a stylish piece of luggage within which to pack your belongings can really make a difference in your travels. Depending on your destination, you may be able to limit yourself to only one piece of luggage for travel. If this is the case, and consider yourself lucky if it is, look for something with enough of a pattern that it stands out in the airport, but which print is subdued enough to be timeless, classic and elegant. One good choice in this area is the Trolley by Yves St. Laurent, in the Downtown Collection. You can purchase it in a gray flannel, in patent black leather, or in a daring but beautiful leopard print calfskin. The Louis Vuitton is a great suitcase size because it is compact and easy to transport, yet large enough to fit a good amount of clothing and goodies for a long weekend away. It is definitely a stylish alternative to your average piece of luggage, and even if you opt for something less bold than the animal print it will stand out in a crowd. Another winner in the luggage department, and much more reasonably priced, is the Brics Luggage Life Collection, in the brushed cotton with leather trim. This bag is great because of its size and functionality, but it too has a feature that makes it stand out: It comes in pink! That’s right; this Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags comes in an adorable pink hue that is almost salmon, with a brown lining. If you want a stylish Louis Vuitton Outlet Online that is sleek and not likely to be confused with others in the airport, this might be the Burberry Bags for you and your next trip. It is also available in a warm chocolate brown color as well as a gray, but the pink luggage is what really makes the Brics line a contender. Two printed classic Louis Vuitton Outlets that are both beautiful pieces of luggage, albeit in slightly different price ranges, are the Gucci Trolley 21” travel luggage and the Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Pegase 50. Either Chanel Bags will make you glad you spent the money. With the Gucci, you cannot go wrong with the Gucci label and the house signature print that is proudly displayed. There is beautiful webbing and a rich brown color to all of the accents, with a mocha-lined interior. While there are not a lot of extra “bells and whistles” to this Louis Vuitton Bags Outlet, the quality is superb and the name says it all. Some of us find it enough justification for the price! louis vuitton backpack is sure to make an impression on any travel mates you may have or even just to those sitting next to you in the airport, awaiting their flight.
