Membership Development

Welcome to the Membership area of the Iowa Jaycees.  We are excited that you’ve taken the first step to find out what Membership truly means.

Membership in the Iowa Jaycees is phenomenal. It is not just recruiting a new member but also really sharing the Jaycees with people in your community. Providing them the benefits of our organization and then asking them to become a part of the greatest organization in the world.

Recruiting is just a part of what membership is.  After you have asked them to join, you’ll need to get them activated.  Springboard/ Degrees is just one way to get them active.  Let them be a part of your chapter and have them really get involved.

In this portion of the website, you will be able to get the tools you need to achieve your goals of building a stronger chapter through membership.

Member Activation: Springboard & Degrees

Springboard is designed for first year members, as a tool for the chapter to activate new members and ensure that they have the opportunity to gain the benefits of membership. Find out more about Springboard & Degrees here.

Looking for Some Recruiting Ideas?

Every organization needs new ideas, new perspectives and new blood to become even stronger in the community. Here are a couple ideas to get you started:

• Send a special newsletter to all prospective Jaycees
  describing the benefits of membership and asking them to join.

• Adjourn during a chapter meeting asking everyone to leave and bring a prospect back to the meeting.
  Print a newspaper article with information on the
  Jaycees, the chapter, and chapter projects with a photo of a new member being sworn in.

• Prepare a dart board with one-, five-, and ten-dollar bills taped to it. If a chapter member brings a guest to a meeting, they get to throw one dart at the board. If they recruit a new member, they get two throws. Whatever the dart hits on the board, they can keep.
