Advocacy & Action Alerts

Dedicated members like you, with voices raised in unison in support of wildlife and habitat are the foundation of much of the recent success of conservation efforts in Maine; and if we continue to work together, those voices are the key to our chances for being even more successful in the coming years. We need your help.

We also have lots to offer Chapters, including a binder of Lobbying & Advocacy reference materials and support from the Conservation department staff. Call our headquarters at 781-2330, or browse some of our publications, reports, and conservation guides online.

Membership, Fundraising & Chapter Relations

A Membership Recruitment Handbook was compiled by a task force in 2003 and distributed to chapters in January 2004. Topics include:

• planning your membership recruitment campaign
• making personal contact with potential members
• getting members active, and
• winning long-term loyalty
  

The task force began work by examining the current dues share situation and its impact on both the state organization and the individual chapters. Other issues included liability insurance and state organization/chapter relations. To explore these issues further or for more information, contact the Membership Director.
