Tu National has started a new membership drive for women from March 1 though May 31. Free membership aere being offered to women during thes time frame. The National Leadership Council (NLC) Women’s Initiative Workgroup is asking for Chapter help with their goal of increasing and retaining women’s membership with TU.
The goal for the Women’s Initiative Workgroup is to increase and retain new women members in TU. A free membership program for women was started last year and was successful in increasing our membership with 2600+ women! What is even more exciting is that our retention rate for these new members is now at 13% and has far surpassed the workgroup’s original goal! To keep this momentum continuing, TU has started a new membership drive for women starting March 1 through May 31. This information was included in the recent Lines To Leaders. Free membership will be offered to women once again during this time frame, and I encourage you to promote this event within your Chapters. To continue improving retention rates, TU is also offering reduced membership to women who sign up for the free membership when their membership is due. The renew rate is $17.50 of which $15.00 will go to your chapters. This membership drive starts March 15 and goes through June 15. I encourage you to contact the women in your Chapter and invite them to take advantage of the renewal rate of $17.50.
Here is the link to the free women’s membership for any women interested in joining TU https://gifts.tumembership.org/women. And remember, your chapter will receive $15.00 of their first renewal.
