Do you remember your first ISAE event? Do you remember being unsure of who to talk to or what ISAE was really all about? The ISAE Membership Committee is proud to present to you a NEW program to help engage and retain our new members.

The ISAE Ambassador Program is an ideal way for veteran ISAE members to reach out to new members and welcome them to the ISAE community. ISAE Ambassadors are active members who begin their relationships with new members by escorting them at functions and events, introducing them to other members, orienting them to the programs and benefits of membership and paving the way for the new members to become active in ISAE.

ISAE Ambassadors are ideally experienced members who are knowledgeable of the benefits of membership and enjoy sharing this information with others one-on-one. As invaluable liaisons between new members and ISAE, their mission is to encourage involvement during the new member's first year. These volunteer efforts go a long way toward increasing new member satisfaction, renewals and contribute to a higher first-year member retention rate for ISAE.

This is an easy commitment to make that won’t take up a lot of your time…you might even make a lifetime friend out of it! For more information, or for an application, please click here.

In an effort to inform members of the valuable resources available on our members-only section of the ISAE Web site, we will highlight a different document each month. This month, we will review Tau Kappa Epsilon’s award-winning Community/Philanthropic Program.

It always feels good to give back to your community, and as an added bonus, it is great P.R. for your organization. It takes a lot of planning to host a successful philanthropic program. Tau Kappa Epsilon wanted to show the community of Las Vegas, the host city for their biennial convention that their members cared for the future leaders. By connecting with the Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, children and families enjoyed more than 15 different activities at the Kids Day Carnival hosted by Tau Kappa Epsilon.

To view this winning philanthropic program, log on to the members-only section of the ISAE Web site at www.isae.org/member. This program can be found in the 2007 STAR Awards Winning Entries section.

Members are also encouraged to contribute items for the members-only section of the ISAE website. These can only be accessed by ISAE members. Forward your policies to Laura Frank at lfrank@isae.org.
