Is your club seeking to grow?
Does it seem like you have tried everything and nothing has seemed to work?
|
|
If so, maybe the time has come to apply for a Club Coach. If your club has less than 12 paid members you qualify. A club coach can:
- Give you a second set of eyes to review your club's situation
- Share fresh ideas on marketing your club; and
- Walk you through implementing your ideas
If you are interested in becoming a Club Coach, contact Bob Churilla, DTM Club Growth Director, [email protected].
