  4. The NMC Philosophy The purpose of the New Member Committee is not simply to welcome new members into the chorus and ensure they receive the basic necessities to get them on the risers. Rather, we are a committee brought together for the purpose of guiding our new members into our Chorus and the entire Sweet Adeline Organization. It is our mission to see to it that every new member be provided all the necessary tools and resources available so that they can immediately become a part of the family without fear, confusion or apprehension. We will educate them and watch over them for an entire year, every step of the way.

  5. Undivided Attention Sharing the Knowledge Keeping their promise to always be aware of new members Be cognizant of their presence and absence Anticipate problems Offer suggestions Help them overcome fear of uncertainty and unfamiliar surroundings The New Member Committee Commitment

  6. What’s the BIG DEAL?? • Do you remember when you first joined? • Over the years, our organization has become more and more complex. • Rigorous rehearsals • Intense coaching sessions • Our own vocabulary • Significant expenses • Detailed instruction • Administrative function • A strong dynamic of many personalities

  7. How are we supposed to convince them it’s worth all that? • Opportunities of a lifetime • Incomparable education • Possibilities of growth • Community development • Performance exposure • Competitive goals • Life and Career Experiences • A sisterhood of magnificent proportions.

  8. It is our intent to not let the former, overshadow the latter.

  9. HOW? • Keep the doors of communication wide open. • Develop an education plan and teach, teach, teach! • Follow that plan with the understanding that a good plan is a continually growing and improving product. • Apply the Ten Steps to Success and Welcome them with OPEN ARMS!

  10. Gotta have CashThe NMC is allocated an annual budget, which is determined by the Board Of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year. This is typically equivalent to one third of the Membership Team’s allocation.
