STEPS TO SUCCESS R ecruiting new members is the number one priority for building representatives. It should always be at the top of your MPE to-do list. However, just because it is an important job does not mean it has to be complicated. To prove our point, we offer you a step-by-step plan to successfully recruit new members. STEPS TO SUCCESS Step 1: Obtain updated membership materials from the state office or area membership director. They may include: • A list of prior-year members • Grants and Scholarship opportunities and deadlines • Recruitment posters to display at your school (Each poster contains blank spaces for you to fill in your name and contact information.) • Membership applications and brochures. Stamp or write your name on the “Recruited By” line on each brochure. Step 2: Distribute materials on your campus. • First, introduce yourself to your principal as the MPE Building Representative and get his or her approval to distribute and display MPE materials. • Place MPE materials in all employee boxes. Step 3: Promote MPE. Here are ideas for when, where and how to do this. • Make personal contact with all prior-year and potential members. • Place MPE promotional materials and box-stuffers in employee mailboxes with a note from you, an invitation to join, or a reminder for renewals. • Attend events for new faculty or host one of your own. • Ask to address a faculty meeting. Our MPE recruitment video is a great tool for such meetings. • Get to know substitute and student teachers and share what MPE can do for them!
