The primary role of the membership chair is to work with staff to plan and create an annual membership solicitation plan for your class. The membership chair will determine whether the class will follow a pre-established, template-style plan (also known as the Ezra Plan) for mailings, or whether the class will draft their own solicitations and communications. Other responsibilities of the membership chair may include following-up with classmates who do not renew their dues payments, setting dues-payer goals, and helping to develop an overall class marketing plan. The membership chair may enlist the aid of other officers and council members to assist with follow-up with non-dues payers.
