Concrete carrots!
volunteer to serve in a leadership capacity, your membership fee for the
time you're an officer is waived.
budget into your annual expenses admininstration expenses, when you hold
leadership meetings, the club buys breakfast, lunch or dinner for that
meeting--whichever meets the time commitment
first dibs at review items
last dibs at review items, but if no member sign up to review, then the
officer who reviews gets to keep rather than being placed for raffle
monthly allotment of "free" raffle tickets
recognition awards, dinner, etc.
the fun of being amongst others that are willing to talk Mac at any time!
Just a few,
Macbeth
