New Chapter Areas
The Membership Committee works with the Organizer to identify unaffiliates, inactives and prospective members in a given area for a new chapter, contacts potential members to determine interest and holds informational meetings.
Do you have any friends, family of scholarship applicants in any of these areas? Would they benefit from having P.E.O. in their life or be interested in learning more about the Sisterhood?
Your Georgia State Organizer would love to connect sisters in Georgia.
If you know of anyone in these areas who would like to learn more about P.E.O., contact the Membership Committee.
Just Ask: Turning Assumptions into Introductions to New Members
The Period of Instruction presented at the 2023 Georgia State Convention in May is now available. It is no secret that membership is a leading topic of conversation in P.E.O. This video will lead your chapter through scenarios that specifically relate to finding new members. You will learn about assumptions we might make when meeting potential P.E.O.s. We hope you will be inspired to think about women you know in a different light and share the gift of P.E.O.
