Audience segments
• How would you describe the different audiences you’re looking for as volunteers and members? What data do you have about each audience?
• What is relevant to each of those audiences? What is the value proposition for them? What would they look to your chapter for?
• What is the primary message you need to telegraph to each of those audiences about your Chapter?
• What are the best channels to deliver those messages?
Know who ought a be in pictures

6 Tests of Turning Outward• Turn Outward: Am I turned toward the community?
• Aspirations: Are my actions rooted in people’s shared aspirations?
• Authority: Could I stand up on a table & talk to people about their community, their aspirations & concerns – would they believe me?
• Authenticity: Do I reflect the reality of people’s lives & do they believe I have their best interests at heart, even when we disagree?
• Accountability: Am I living up to the pledges & promises I have made?
• Urge Within: Am I staying true to my urge within?

AARP believes that volunteer service is a unique and valuable contribution that benefits both the volunteer and society. that AARP volunteers, working in partnership with paid staff and community colleagues, are a necessary and vital force in achieving the Association’s vision, mission, and strategic goals. that volunteers contribute to the Association’s goal of attracting, developing, and maintaining the diversity of people and programs that reflect our communities and their needs. that it is crucial to match the skills, abilities, interest, and availability of volunteers to the tasks and opportunities that advance the Association goals. that volunteering for AARP is one of many paths by which members can become connected, involved, and engaged with their Association. that a strong commitment to supporting and recognizing volunteers is essential in helping them reach their potential for service.
