Ask The RESA Experts – Starting A New RESA Chapter

Posted on by Gina Vierra

 I have watched the RESA chapter orientation webinar already, and I want to start a new chapter close to where I reside, but I am wondering about the work involved?

Hi Lori!

Great question and thank you for asking.  We’ve streamlined the process of starting a chapter into three simple steps.

The first step is watching the recorded webinar and agreeing to facilitate a local chapter kickoff meeting.  We provide you with all the tools you need to make the gathering a success.  We will send you a Chapter Kickoff Kit to review, you choose a date and location and we promote the meeting for you. The purpose of this networking event is to gauge interest and share the benefits of collaborating as a chapter to improve the staging industry locally by focusing on professional development.

The second step is to form a board.  After the kickoff meeting, we encourage members and attendees to get involved, get into leadership and apply for a board position. Candidates are reviewed and if necessary members vote.  Three positions are required to form a board per the bylaws; President, President Elect and Secretary.  The other board positions available are VP of Membership and Treasurer, though these are not required positions, they are certainly good to have!

The final step is having a strategic planning meeting with yours truly and the new board. That is where we will go over everyone’s roles and discuss the goals of the chapter, as well as other decision making items that need to be considered by the board before scheduling the first official chapter meeting.
We’ve created a roadmap that works and we provide you with unlimited support throughout the process to ensure success.  Belonging to a local chapter of RESA is a major benefit of membership.  Being in leadership with your local trade association identifies you in the community as a ‘mover and a shaker’ and sets you apart from the rest. This can be a game changer for your business! Let’s get this party started, shall we?
