Hmmmmm.. Besides giving volunteers a perk, free memberships would also =
be one heck of a way to ramp up membership numbers. =20
Will have to give this one some thought.

Hi all,=20
the Nanaimo Art Gallery also gives volunteers a free membership as a =
way of thanking them for all they do.

A question for the masses:
What is your museum's policy on requiring or offering society =
memberships to volunteers?
It's currently written in our volunteer policy that volunteers are =
expected to become members of our historical society -- but that's =
something that has not been enforced in the past.
Personally, I think that it's an excellent idea to recruit your =
volunteers into your Society membership-they're keen on the museum's, =
they are going to be significantly more engaged than the "send me a =
newsletter" members, and they more likely to be ambassadors for the =
organization wherever they go. Recruiting them is one thing, though, =
requiring it is another.
What do others do?
