Member Engagement in the Future

A high priority for affiliates and communities in the updated AAFCS model is for:
Self-forming, organic groups,
addressing a focused topic,
for a limited amount of time,
and that which involves grassroots engagements.

The challenges we face:
•What can the community do to become strong again?•How to we entice others to join us?•What’s the best use of our financial resources?•Are there members willing to commit time and energy?•Will collaborating with AAFCS and other FCS groups ensure our influence and effectiveness in the future?
The Question today is…
