Expert Webinar Series: Recruiting Members for KeepsWild Apricot
Recruiting new members is so much more than “selling” a membership. The way you recruit has a direct impact on the way new members participate…and whether or not they renew. Drawing from decades of research from members across associations and generations, discover how simple changes in the recruitment conversation can make all the difference.
In this webinar, you will:
Examine why current approaches fail to produce desired results
Explore a recruitment technique that resonates across generations
Learn practical ways your fellow members can become successful recruiters
Discover how this approach can be incorporated in print and digital ways
Gain access to samples and templates for your immediate use
This webinar will be led by Patricia A. Hudson, MPsSc, President Melos Institute. Trish is a community psychologist with over 30 years’ experience with membership-based and non-profit organizations. Trish leads the Melos Institute, which is dedicated to finding practical solutions to address the persistent ongoing challenges facing these organizations.
Let’s face it: Website projects can no longer be defined by a boilerplate process. Evolving your website along with your organization can drive participation among all of your users: Staff, volunteers, donors, the board, and constituents. Driven by the buzzy “design thinking,” we can use a more nuanced approach that thinks of your end user first, and powers far-reaching results for your website projects. So how do you bring design thinking into your organization? From leading brainstorming meetings that are actually useful, to getting real-world feedback and buy-in from IT and other stakeholders, we’ll review common and uncommon methods and their outcomes.

Breaking the Code of Interview Implicit Bias to Value Different Gender Competencies
Bonita Banducci, Banducci Consulting
Live at Santa Clara University - Room #330C located on the 3rd floor of the Learning Commons
Session Length: 1 hour
Implicit Bias Workshops and exercises are being shared widely on the internet. Some of the solutions are:
"Determine precisely what skills and attributes you are hiring for."
"Ask exactly the same questions to each candidate."
But what about the implicit bias in determining what skills you are valuing--beyond traditional management and leadership competencies?
How can interviewers recognize the often invisible, unarticulated, undervalued and often misinterpreted competencies of more "relational and collectivist" people--often women and men and women from different cultures?
Bonita Banducci teaches Gender and Engineering class in Santa Clara University's School of Engineering Graduate Program. In video and cartoon representation as well as in person, her students apply Gender Competence®--understanding and skills to work with gender (and cultural) differences as competencies--to job interviews both as the interviewer and the interviewee, as men and women. They show how to "mine the gold" of difference for the best candidate AND to get the job as the best candidate while establishing the value of relational competencies in the workplace and marketplace.

that the wind is too harsh.
Persist. It matters.”

34. Nuts and Bolts
• https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_requirements_for_p
olitical_candidates_in_Pennsylvania
• In order to get on the ballot in Pennsylvania, a candidate
for state or federal office must meet a variety of complex,
state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These
laws are set at the state level. A candidate must prepare
to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of
primaries, caucuses and the general election.
35. • You need to petition to get on the ballot. You will need
about 2x the number of signatures required in order to
avoid challenges by the other party.
• If you work with a traditional party, they will help you get
the signatures you need
• You need to form a campaign committee, with a
Chairman (largely an honorary job) get a treasurer, and
set up a PAC for fundraising. (Campaign finance and
reporting is on a strict schedule)
36. • You will need to file a statement of financial interest-
http://www.ethics.pa.gov/How-To/Pages/How-To-File-a-Statement-of-Financial-
Interests.aspx#.Vo0wD01gmUk
• Candidate’s Affidavit
• EVERYTHING needs to be notarized- many banks do it for
free, or Wiggins will do it for a small charge
