Review: outstanding balances
5. People (Membership)
Is overall membership increasing or decreasing?
Non-renewing members
Have their responsibilities been transitioned?
Current members
Is their documentation for items such as continued
education up to date?
Are they gaining value from the organization?
Is your membership management software data
up to date?

quiet reflection. From the
quiet reflection will come
even more effective action.”
