Attention EWI! NEW BONUS Webinar Series Starting July!
Join us Monday, July 13, 2026 for Beyond Recruitment: Building a Chapter People Want to Join!
Membership growth is not simply about getting people to join. It’s about creating an experience that helps people feel welcomed, connected, engaged, and valued from the very beginning. In this webinar, we’ll explore what it really takes to grow and sustain membership in an EWI chapter. Rather than focusing only on tactics, this session will look at the mindset, consistency, leadership, and member involvement required to create momentum and build a thriving chapter culture.
Using real examples from EWI of Harrisburg's recent membership growth, we’ll discuss:
• The role intentional programming plays in attracting and retaining members
• Why follow-up matters at every stage of the member journey
• How to help prospective and new members feel connected quickly
• The importance of shared ownership across the chapter, not just the Membership Chair
• Creating energy, engagement, and a sense of belonging that people want to be part of
• Engaging future leaders in the region to create a pipeline of prospective members
• How mentorship and cross-generational connection benefit both emerging professionals and experienced leaders alike
One of the keys to Harrisburg’s momentum has been creating opportunities for experienced members to mentor and share leadership knowledge with the next generation while also recognizing the value younger professionals bring to the conversation. The result has been a stronger sense of connection, fresh perspectives, and meaningful engagement across career stages.
This session is designed for all EWI members and chapter leaders who want to strengthen engagement, create a more connected member experience, and better understand what sustainable membership growth can look like in practice. Attendees will leave with practical ideas, leadership insights, and renewed energy around what is possible within their own chapters.
