Recruiting

This is the third part of a four-part series on Corps Resources. By now you have read Defining Your Corps and Marketing Your Corps. This topic will introduce you to the basics of recruiting.

The following techniques can be used to develop an inflow of new members to keep your group healthy.

Building on the previous content, this section will focus on:

• Conducting an Open House
