Strategic DiscussionTrends in Local Engagement • Trend 1: Changing faces of leadership • Trend 2: Changing volunteer model • Trend 3: Changing relationship between online and face to face • Trend 4: Changing membership business model
TREND 1: Changing faces of leadership: From leadership by role/position to leadership in real time “We are experiencing the burnout or retirement of the small handful of dedicated volunteers who are the glue - there has been very little succession planning. ”
TREND 2: Changing volunteer model: From the volunteer ladder to micro-volunteering “I feel as though people have less time to commit on any level of engagement so we need to come up with different opportunities for people to be involved with less of a time commitment.”
TREND 3: Changing relationship between online and face to face: From separate spaces to fully symbiotic relationship between online and offline engagement “Members are so busy they cannot attend meetings so using this electronic method gives all members the same access and they can take advantage of what interests them in their own time. ”
TREND 4: Changing membership business model: From “join us” to “try us out” “[Members are] more difficult to entice; incentives must be high; must have perfect storm of right topic, right time, right place”
