Two signs of a great chapter!

22/3/09

Obviously there are many things that make a great chapter and, even if I came up with a Top 10 list, someone else would have their own opinion.

For example, it could be the amount of business that a chapter has been thanked for in the ‘Thank you for the business’ (Show me the Money) box, it could be the number of referrals passed, the fact that most members have been to all of the workshops, or that every week they have two or more visitors, or it could be that their chapter has 44 members, or maybe that they have wonderful social events.

In truth I suspect that it will be a combination of all of these things and more.

But, if you want two, easy to spot signs of a great chapter just count the number of members at the meeting by 6.30am and again at 9.00am. Great chapters are buzzing by 6.30am and are still full at 9.00am.

So, have a quick count of the members at your next meeting. If more than 60% of your fellow members are present then you might just have yourself a great chapter.
