New Member Engagement   Smart Tips Populate your Calendar If your chapter takes the summer off from meetings, it’s time to get programming posted for the coming year. Meetings are often the primary benefit to members, providing educational and networking opportunities. For the chapter, it’s often the main way to generate income, which is necessary to provide value to your members. An increase in budget can directly translate to an increase in programming and resources. Follow this workflow to add meetings to your StarChapter system. Using Meeting Manager allows you to manage tickets and registration as well as have the meetings posted on your website and available to pull into Email Builds. If you are new to StarChapter or have a complex meeting to setup, reach out to our Support Team for additional guidance or to schedule a training.
