Conversations on the Commons: Membership…a must?

December 10, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Membership: A Must?

December 10, 2021, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

With Carol S. Ward, Executive Director of the Lexington Historical Society, and Dawn Estabrooks Salerno, Executive Director at the Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum

Does the membership model still work for 2022? Massachusetts Historical Society has just announced that they no longer have a paid membership; all donors are considered members. What is membership, and what does it mean to your organization and the people who are members? Is membership about money, or is it about something else, as well? If you run a membership program, how do you administer it? If you don’t, how do you raise funds? How do you get people to feel a connection to your organization? Do you have any ideas for membership benefits, or resources for reading more about membership models? We’ll discuss what works, what doesn’t, and the explore the meaning of membership in 2022.

This conversation will be moderated by Gloria Polizzotti Greis, Executive Director of the Needham History Center & Museum.

Registration is free. REGISTER HERE!

This Conversation will be livestreamed. We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the livestream. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive.
