Starter Questions for Outreach

• Who on your team is responsible for member outreach?

• Does that person work with a team of people on outreach?

• Does your team use social media? Are there people on your team who can be the primary leads on social media?

• Do you know everyone in your membership? If not, what ideas could be used to get to know everyone?

• Does your membership or do your networks understand what your group does for the community?

• Are you missing people within your membership or networks with your current outreach strategy? If so, what steps can be taken to resolve this?

• Do you have a tangible list of actions that people who want to help out can do? (ex. making check in calls, writing cards, deliveries, etc.)
