We Need Your Superpowers! Join the 202ONE Membership Challenge

Yvonne Liser, National Chair, Membership Committee

What’s that bright light in the sky? It’s the DAR Membership Challenge signal!

Grab your capes, Daughters! The DAR Membership Committee is calling on all members to join in the 2020NE Challenge! 

During the 2020NE calendar year, we are challenging each member to bring ONE new member into a chapter. It’s that simple – ONE new member by ONE Daughter! Of course, there is no need to stop at just ONE. Feel free to bring in as many as you would like!

Intrigued? Let’s do this!

  • To qualify, a member must recruit at least ONE new member into a chapter during the 2020NE calendar year.
  • The new member is not required to join the recruiting member’s chapter. She may become a member in any chapter and in any state.
  • The new member must be voted into a DAR chapter during any of the National Boards in 2020NE (January – December).
  • For this challenge, recruitment is defined as a member introducing a prospective member to DAR and recommending her to join a specific chapter. It does not include application preparation, lineage research, or other duties falling within a member’s DAR position, such as State Application Team Volunteer or State Membership Committee Chair.
  • Members must notify the assigned person in their chapter once the recruited prospective becomes a member.
  • Chapters will recognize members that meet the challenge.
  • Regents and registrars of chapters that have 100% member participation or the equivalent will be invited to a reception with the President General during the 131st Continental Congress in 2022.

Chapter Leadership, this part is for you:

  • The 2020NE Challenge is tracked and awarded at the chapter level.
  • We recommend chapter regents appoint a volunteer/chapter officer to track the members who have met the challenge.
  • The Membership Committee will provide a certificate template that can be used to award chapter members that have met the challenge, but we are leaving it to the chapters to get creative! Chapters may create their own certificates or choose some other form of recognition.
  • We encourage chapters to be innovative and share it with us in the DAR Membership Committee Forum Facebook group or through a submission in The Brightest Star newsletter!
  • For this challenge, 100% participation or the equivalent is defined as all chapter members meeting the challenge (100% participation) or the number of new members recruited in 2020NE equals the number of members in your chapter (equivalent of 100% participation).

We are excited to see you take off with this challenge! The Membership Committee will be checking in with state committee chairs throughout the year to see how it’s going. Please feel free to contact us with questions.

We believe in your superpowers! Good luck!
