Our new website and online membership management software has been available to the public for nearly six months. Over the past six months, we have had 950 visitors to our website, 2,150 total visits, and 11,000 pages have been viewed. We have also processed 173 membership applications, renewals and 131 event registrations.
We are five months into our fiscal year and currently have 175 active members. We will be continuing to contact and assist members with their annual membership renewal. By comparison, over the past three years our membership numbers have been between 200 and 220 by the end of the year. We expect our membership numbers to be slightly above average for this year. We will continue to encourage any of our 482 contacts that are not currently members to join the Chapter.
So far this year’s event attendance is good. For the October meeting, there were 42 attendees and the November meeting had 68 attendee. By comparison, last year we had 34 registered for the October meeting and 38 for the November meeting. This upward trend is an improvement and shows the strength of our Chapter.
In the months ahead, we will be unveiling a member’s only section of our website. Features of this area will include a member directory. Prior to deployment of the member directory, we will send a notice to remind members to review their privacy settings to protect their identity.
Thank you for your continued support!
