The International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners (IAMCP) can significantly boost membership engagement by working closely with Microsoft. Initiatives include inviting non-member partners to local chapter meetings, seeking visibility at Microsoft events with a table or speaker slot, and securing specific funding for members. Local chapters should advocate for inclusion in Microsoft communications and consider a dedicated chapter newsletter. These strategies not only promote membership but also foster valuable connections within the Microsoft ecosystem.
