So Much to be Proud of...
|
In the past six weeks, our world has drastically changed due to the disruption and devastation brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. For Impact100 leaders, members, supporters, and nonprofit partners, the changes have been continuous as the effects of the virus deliver an evolving series of circumstances to overcome. These are challenging times and the pandemic is affecting every aspect of the work we do in Impact100.
On April 5, Queen Elizabeth delivered a short but compelling message of reassurance, comfort and inspiration as her nation and the world struggle through the new realities brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Only the fifth time in her more than 68-year reign that she addressed the nation outside of her annual Christmas greeting, she spoke less than five minutes, yet succeeded in positioning the crisis as a defining moment for her nation.

Impact100 Best Practice: Creating an
“Evergreen”
auto-renewing membership
|
|
 |
As Impact100 leaders, we understand that many of our members rejoin us every year. Including an option on your chapter's Membership Information page allowing your members to select an "evergreen" or auto-renewing option makes it easier for our members and for our membership committees.
Although several Impact100 chapters utilize this strategy, many do not.
Pro Tip:
Identifying your
Evergreen
members provides great benefits - these are the women who are deeply committed to your work and the Impact100 philosophies and would be ideally suited to join or lead committees, host membership information sessions, and more.
