Legacy women’s organizations are facing particular chalenges today. Why is this so?
Some factors to consider:
Aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic; declining membership numbers; mission uncertainty or drift; younger women’s lack of interest/ time/energy for volunteer activity.
How can these concerns be addressed, so organizations can maintain the mission and revive the enthusiasm? How will you sustain the organizations for the future? You will think holistically about the direction your organization is headed and make some decisions through focused discussions, leadership engagement with members, and refinement of recruitment strategies, reimagination of governance structures, other strategies and more.
