Chapter Newsletter Challenge

Regular communication to chapter members is an important aspect of building a successful chapter. A well-written chapter newsletter is a valuable tool that will not only help your members stay in-the-know about chapter events and news about the profession; it also serves to encourage members to participate in chapter activities and stay involved in The IIA.

 To help share chapter newsletter leading practices — with the goal of inspiring ideas for all chapter leaders —Chapter Relations is continuing with our annual newsletter contest. Send a copy of your best 2011 newsletter, and members of The IIA’s editorial staff will judge the top publications. Newsletters received through ChapterRelations@theiia.org by Wednesday, February 29, 2012 will be reviewed for content, creativity, and format.

The winning newsletters will be featured in a future issue of Leaderslink as a leading practice example. The winning chapter will be recognized at the upcoming 2012 Leadership Academy being held April 22–24, 2012 in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Florida.
