ICF update on membership and raising money (recap of recent discussions)

• The ICF chapter leader mailing list has had a recent discussion about how chapters bring in revenues from sources other than member fees
• Answers included:
  • Charging for presentations (members and non-members)
  • Meals
  • Sponsors
  • Advertisers
• It would be good for us to have a discussion around the value that we provide for the money
• We could put more focus on recruiting members at every opportunity
• The ICF is changing how they will send money back to the chapter in 2010
