Creating Chapter Goals

One way to increase member engagement is to set and work toward chapter goals. To come up with a solid plan, first ask yourself what you want to accomplish. Consider adding some of these goals to your list:

Year-Long Goals

• Earn NSSLHA's Gold, Silver, or Bronze Chapter Honors—and while you’re at it, set your sights on NSSLHA’s Chapter of the Year award!

Professional Networking Goals

• Invite a leader from your state association to speak about their annual meeting.
• Invite professionals from three to four different settings for a panel discussion.
• Invite recent grads to talk about their Clinical Fellowship (CF) experience.

Advocacy Goals

• Share NSSLHA's Federal Advocacy Tutorial with your chapter members.
• Participate in NSSLHA's legislative advocacy efforts, like Student Advocacy Day (each fall) and Virtual Advocacy Day (each spring).
• Join your state association in their state advocacy efforts.

Philanthropic Goals

• Support community outreach efforts like NSSLHA Loves, BHSM, and World Hearing Day.
• Raise funds for the NSSLHA Scholarship administered through the ASHFoundation.
