"Coming together is a beginning, staying together
is progress, and working together is success." |
What Is a Post-Initiation Incentive Program?
Example 1: Basic Points Programs
Example 2: Attendance-Based Programs
Chapter PIIP Example
A Post-Initiation
Incentive Program, PIIP, is designed to encourage member participation
within the chapter. This kind of program is designed to encourage
participation and reward those involved in the chapter. Higher
member involvement and retention can occur when marketed effectively
to the members and potential members. Overall, having a post-initiation
program is encouraged in all chapters to show members that through
effort and service, individuals can get both intrinsic and extrinsic
rewards and recognition. |
