Host Nonprofit Responsibilities

Provide Meeting Space: Onsite meeting spaces are preferred, but if that’s not feasible, a space provided by a chapter member or board member will suffice. Either way there must be a consistent monthly meeting location.

Designate a Representative: Ensure a staff member, board member, or designated representative is present at each meeting to provide updates, greet members, and serve as the nonprofit’s voice.

Support Initial Membership Drive and Membership Growth: Encourage participation and referrals from staff, board, volunteers, partners, and supporters. This is a great way to generate more board involvement. The organization will be responsible to bring in most of the first 20 chapter members.

Prepare Mission Updates: Share monthly organizational highlights, needs, and opportunities within the chapter (and for the newsletters).

Collaborate with Leadership: Work with the chapter president and MAMA/IXI representatives to ensure smooth communication and meeting flow.

Promote NANA: Share chapter information (which will be provided) through newsletters, social media, and board communications.

Participate Across Chapters: Send a representative to visit other NANA chapters to broaden awareness (if desired).

Encourage Deeper Engagement: Identify opportunities for chapter members to volunteer, serve, or contribute expertise.

Optional Enhancements: Optionally, provide refreshments, host service or brainstorming sessions, develop honorary memberships, or establish chapter -specific policies.

Ensure Mission Alignment: Maintain a positive, values-driven environment consistent with the organization’s culture.
