ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Chair \u2013 Vacant<\/h4>\n

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE \u00a0 <\/span>Chair \u2013 Vacant<\/h4>\n
The Membership Committee realizes the strength and vitality of any organization largely depends upon its ability to maintain or increase its membership. We have an obligation to develop a positive attitude that inspires the people around you to create an atmosphere that encourages others to become members of our great Organization. We also possess a passion for membership retention. If enough Elks care, there isn\u2019t any membership goal we can\u2019t attain.<\/h6>\n
PUBLIC RELATIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA \u00a0 <\/span>Chair \u2013 Vacant<\/h4>\n
The Public Relations Committee is charged with telling the stories of Elks\u2019 activities and programs, positioning our Lodge to gain favorable media coverage, building an awareness of the BPOE and creating a greater interest in joining our organization.<\/h6>\n
