As members of the Executive Advisory Committee, we are in a unique position to help CPR fulfill its mission and expand its reach in the business and legal communities. This special section of CPR's website is designed especially for you to inform you of new initiatives and other areas where your support and participation are most needed.

Currently, CPR needs your help in expanding its membership involvement. CPR has found that the most effective form of member recruitment is through personal endorsements from current members.  To that end, CPR is challenging each member of the Executive Advisory Committee to:

• recruit TWO new CPR members by June 30, 2012 
• grow CPR involvement within their own organizations   

Your personal invitation and endorsement are extremely powerful tools. However, we don't expect you to hit the bricks without having the proper tools.  This webpage contains guidelines and links to help you accomplish your membership outreach.

How You Can Help Grow CPR's Membership

1.  Recruit a non-member by using ADR:

• Advocate: Review the list of CPR's members, reach out to your contacts at non-member companies and law firms and share your own experiences as a member, and how membership has benefited your business.
  
  
• Disseminate: Provide each prospect with information and a membership application form. Alternatively, you can put them directly in touch with Terri Bartlett at tbartlett@cpradr.org or 646.753.8225.
  
  
• Recruit: Follow up with your prospects to answer any questions or help them overcome any objections to joining. Make sure each recruit lists your name on their membership application form.

  
2.  Invite a non-member to attend a CPR Committee meeting to see CPR's thought leadership in action, so they can learn more about the collaborative nature of committees and the networking and substantive opportunities that these committees provide to members.

3.  Invite a non-member to attend one of CPR events, which are renowned for its executive-level networking, sophisticated analysis of ADR best practices, and the most practical take-away learning in the field.

4.  Host a luncheon, a topical regional event, or a Y-ADR event in your region. These are excellent ways to introduce CPR's programs to individuals who are unfamiliar with all that CPR has to offer and a great opportunity to engage current members.
    

How You Can Get Your Colleagues Involved with CPR
    
1.  Have your colleagues register on CPR's website so they will have full Member access to our resources, tools and ADR best practices.

2.  Bring at least one colleague to a CPR event, like the 2012 Annual Meeting.

3.  Encourage others at your organization to join at least one CPR Committee.

4.  Invite your younger associates to become involved with CPR's Y-ADR program.
    
5.  Develop a succession plan to keep your organization involved with CPR for years to come.
