Chapter Support and Membership Committee
- This committee is responsible for distributing National SAR’s Membership Committee work projects for programs to recruit new members and to increase retention of existing members by reducing “drops and resignations” and publicizing the results for Virginia SAR officers and members. Each year the committee sets specific goals to realize these objectives. The Second Vice President chairs this Committee.
- This committee is responsible for the revival of dormant chapters, assisting chapter having difficulties remaining viable, and forming new chapters within the state.
- This committee oversees the Virginia Society DAR/SAR Award program. This program is in direct support of the National Society DAR/SAR Award which provides $500 to the state DAR Society that recruits the most members to the SAR. The recruiting is tracked at the national level by “DAR Finder Forms” attached to the new member applications arriving at National. The Virginia Society is encouraging this program by providing the DAR Finder Form (at the end of this volume) and by awarding certificates to the top three VA DAR Chapters recruiting new members and giving honorable mention to any VA DAR Chapter recruiting new SAR members. The committee will ensure that forms are made available to the VA DAR and will on receipt of the report from the Registrar, prepare the certificates and inform the President of the results of the contest. The President or his designated representative should present these awards and recognition at the VA DAR Annual Meeting.
