How does the Team Captain recruit the team?
Recruiting a Non-Corporate Team:
- Schedule a Team Kickoff or gathering. Invite current and prospective team members. We would love to come celebrate your team's involvement and talk about our mission. Let us know when the party will be!
- Set a team goal for recruitment.
- Send out an e-mail to everyone in your address book
- Have a representative of the National MS Society, Colorado Chapter meet with your group and give a presentation to potential team members
- Make an announcement at your next PTA meeting, girl/boy scout group, book club meeting, workout class at the gym, or any other group that you or anyone in your family belong to
- Send out a letter to potential participants from a person who has MS, explaining how important this event is to the society and to them
- Remind all participants that their family and friends can also participate on your team or volunteer.
- Have a "new team member" registration meeting to encourage each participant to recruit 1 more personal friend, family member, neighbor or co-worker.
Recruiting a Corporate Team:
- Bring brochures and posters to work: display in high traffic areas, place one in everyone’s mailbox or on their desk, and place some in the lobby of your building.
- Ask the highest ranked person in your department, company, organization or group to send out an endorsement memo announcing that he/she is walking, and ask everyone to sign up.
- Place an article in your company newsletter about Bike MS. State your involvement in the event and your goals.
- Ask the Colorado Chapter to come to your office for a “Lunch n’ Learn” to provide more information about the Bike MS.
- Publicly display a sign-up list in the community kitchen, front desk, or conference room.
- Get employees fired up by sparking a friendly competition between managers and departments, as they each try to out-perform the other.
