Enhancing Member Experience by Creating a Culture of Engagement
This training on Enhancing Member Experience by Creating a Culture of Engagement is one of the most important we have to offer. As our councils actively engage members, their experience is far more positive, which leads to new men joining our councils and it allows us to do more charitable work. During this training presentation, we will:

Highlight the important relationship between member experience and member engagement
Complete a Council Engagement Assessment and know your council’s current engagement score
Provide your council specific tools to improve your council engagement score
Answer as many of your questions as possible
