How to Leverage an Honorary and Voluntary Position

Quite a few of my clients and colleagues accept honorary and voluntary positions with various organizations and associations. Here is how to best leverage such positions:

• Focus on delivering genuine value for the association and its members.
• Contribute to their newsletter each time it’s sent out and provide them with helpful improvement ideas.
• Create and facilitate breakfast meetings and invite experts to present.
• Launch a series of webinars or tele-seminars with guest experts.
• Create relationships with strategic members.
• Contact members and inquire how you and the association can be of additional help.
• Have members share their success stories.
• Share on your web site and blog.

When you help members of the association increase their success, the association becomes more successful and so do you.
