[Chapter-delegates] Membership recruitment - financial assistance (friendly reminder)

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

This is just a friendly reminder that in 2010 financial assistance is  
available for "Membership reinvigoration" (aka Event funding). Each  
chapter is eligible to apply for USD 2,000 to help with the costs of  
putting on an event. Each Chapter is eligible to apply just once a  
year and the deadline for applying is December 31st.  The money cannot  
be carried over into 2011.

The purpose of the programme is to help you get in touch with members  
and to recruit new members.  You can even use the programme to ask  
members for ideas for an event and volunteers to organise the event.  
Money can be available in one lump sum or in smaller pieces.

Applying is easy, and the details of the programme are at:  http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/funding/

So far in 2010, we have only had 4 applications, so we would love to  
see more!  If you have any queries about how the programme works,  
please don't hesitate to contact <chapter-support at isoc.org> or your  
Regional Bureau manager.

We are trying to build up an archive of past events on the ISOC  
website at: http://isoc.org/wp/chapter-events/  so we can proudly  
"share our success" so if you have photos and a small write up, please  
do share it with us.  As always feedback on the programme is welcome  
(to the chapter support email address).

thanks again and we look forward to receiving your  applications.

Anne
