How to Get Started

• Partnering with other chapters is easy because you already understand each other’s mission.

• Partnering with other organizations and obtaining company sponsorships is a little tougher…– Value statement– The exchange– Connect online

17

Value Statement

• Create a value statement or “elevator pitch” for your chapter.

• What is the mission and vision of your chapter? What does your chapter do and why is it important?

• Should be easy for people outside of the contract management profession to understand.

18

The Exchange

• Identify organizations and companies within your community.

• Think about the value that the partnership can provide each of the parties involved.

19

The Exchange

• Create an informational sheet or sponsorship form that clearly defines these benefits.

20

Connect Online

• Your community wants to know more about your chapter!

• Things to consider:– Do you have a professional looking website?– Do you have an up-to-date events calendar?– Are you “active” on social media?

• Social media is also a GREAT avenue to connect with members and advertise events!

21

Just Remember

• When reaching out to your community, you should be able to:– Clearly describe the mission of your chapter and

why what you do is important.

– Explain the benefits that a partnership can provide and how it can be a reciprocal relationship.

– Direct organizations and companies to connect with you online and enable them to find out more about your chapter through social media.
