Whether or not you are the leader of a networking group or association, if you are a member, you should want the organization to be successful and that means reaching out and encouraging visitors to become new members. Debby, the Networking Guru, and Greg, the Reluctant Networker take some time to discuss a variety of activities and behaviors that can increase membership and attendance in your professional business group.
