Marketing and Chapter Building Workshops

This workshop has a two-fold goal. The first part of the workshop will be about building VOICE/CSEA chapters all across the state. The overall plan is to establish 25 VOICE chapters. These workshops will begin the chapter building process by addressing the initial steps that need to be taken including membership involvement, responsibilities, recruitment, leadership roles, dues collection, chapter structures, activities and goals.

The second part of the workshop, Marketing Your Child Care Business in Hard Times, will be presented immediately following the chapter building component. It is not easy to stay fully enrolled in these difficult economic times. This workshop will examine the strategies and tactics child care providers can employ to attract new clients into their programs. This part of the workshop has been approved for 1 hour of training in topic area #5 Business Record Maintenance and Management.

These workshops are open to VOICE/CSEA members only. To join, visit our Join VOICE page or call 877-483-CSEA.

RSVP for the workshop in your chapter by calling 877-483-CSEA.
