The best way to increase involvement in your neighborhood association is by asking
Studies consistently show that personal, one-on-one meeting requests lead to higher attendance rates than group or email invitations. A study cited by the Harvard Business Review found that face-to-face requests are 34 times more successful than emails. Here’s a template for that conversation you can use to make your ask.
Example Script:
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I live at [Your Address]. I’m on the neighborhood association board, and I’d like to personally invite you to our next meeting.
It’s on [Date of Meeting] at [Time of Meeting] at [Location of Meeting]. We’ll be talking about things that affect all of us, like [mention 2-3 specific topics, e.g., planning this year’s block party, updates on the new park, and how to improve neighborhood safety]. It’s a great opportunity to get to know more of your neighbors and share your ideas.
We’d love to have you join us. Is there a good way for me to get you an agenda or more information?
