First, a thanks to Pat & others who have given some great advice.
Next, it's great to know I'm not in this boat alone - it's encouraging
- and that's why I like this list.
I'm in a situation similar to what Pat stepped into - taking over after
the prior president had been there for too long, was burnt out, and all
the members were used to nothing being done, and doing nothing.
We've got a number of people who'll sing the praises of how thankful
they are to have someone doing things again, and I've been handing
kudos to the group by giving thanks & letting them know that they're
the ones who makes things happen (last year we raised enough $$ for a
used projector). My focus & desire now is to change those
"cheerleaders" into active players. What I'm not sure of other than
outright asking them to do something is - HOW?
We don't have a lot of $$ flow - based only on membership ($18/yr), and
raffles at each meeting (averg $40). That means that rewarding active
members with "things" is tough. What other "carrots" can be used?
Thanks to all who've helped out so far, and please keep the ideas
coming. I don't want to end up being burnt out, and I don't want to
stop trying to do things (that's the easy out).
Cheers!
