It’s that time of year again: renewal invoices are on their way to our valued member organizations. Here at the Federation of Calgary Communities, your membership fees are essential for providing the support, workshops, and resources you rely on. (So, a big thank you to all the board members and staff who keep those renewals rolling in!)
Membership Drive Power Up!
Now, while we handle renewals, we know many of you are gearing up for your own membership drives. Here are some tips to supercharge your efforts:
- Be Your Own Cheerleader: Why wait for a drive? Shout your organization’s greatness from the rooftops all year long! What makes you unique? What are the benefits of membership? Infectious enthusiasm is key!
- Unleash Your Community Champions: Do you have members who rave about your organization? Empower them to share their experiences and become advocates!
- Make Every Interaction Count: Every event or activity is a chance to showcase your value. Create memorable and positive experiences that speak for themselves.
- Don’t Keep It a Secret: Let everyone know your amazing programs and services! Don’t let them become the best-kept secrets.

Remember: Renewals are just one piece of the puzzle. By consistently demonstrating your value, telling your story, and celebrating your successes, you can build a thriving membership base year-round.
Let’s work together to make our communities stronger! Be part of it!
