Try a 10-minute meeting with the members you represent. ARs who hold regular building meetings – especially in difficult times – have the best shot at strengthening membership rapport. ”But they won’t stay for a building meeting,” you complain. “They say they’re too busy.” Try promising a 10-minute building meeting – timed by the clock. You have to rule with an iron hand and few words, but you can do it. 10 – AR Handbook Following are a sample announcement of the 10-minute meeting and a sample agenda to distribute at the start of each one. See the guide for planning such a meeting. Ask members their opinions on association matters. Let them have a voice and the feeling that their opinions count in the decision-making process. Note on the sample agenda that members still have the opportunity to let off steam through the tear-off on the bottom. The association representative can then talk on an individual basis to those who write down their concerns. Make association meetings snappy and businesslike.
