Membership Strategy
Project details
What we need
- A Membership Strategy document of 2-4 pages, including analysis of the Organization’s current membership program, step-by-step guide to a new or improved program, growth goals and creative outreach strategies
Additional details
We have a newly formed Membership Committee that does not know how to begin. We have six individuals that would like to be involved and move the needle forward but need a structured plan and guidance. Can you help? We look forward to hearing from you.
What we have in place
- We currently have a committee of individuals eager to work on membership, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have all of our records, a member management system, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to build a more sustainable model for our organization.
This project is important because membership and the needs of our members should be he basis of our organization. Previously, membership as a topic has never been examined. A strategic plan has never been put in place.
With the growth of the Hispanic population in Pittsburgh, it is important that our organization rises to meet the needs of the community and is engaged with members of the community at all levels, especially in membership.

Our mission
The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (PMAHCC) is the principal regional advocate for the Hispanic business community's civic and economic interests. It is our mission is to develop, promote and advocate on behalf of Hispanic businesses & professionals in the Pittsburgh region, while encouraging the advancement and economic growth of Pittsburgh's Hispanic community.
What we do
Like the Pittsburgh area, The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is in a major transitional phase. In the earlier years of our organization, the Latinx population of our city was very small and consisted mostly of middle to upperclass individuals working in corporations. Today the landscape is rapidly changing. Since 2010 the Hispanic Population has grown 170%. As a result we are looking to change our focus from a primarily networking organization that gave back through scholarships to a true chamber of commerce offering programming and resources to the community at large.
We are in the process of restructuring board requirements, developing programs, seeking grants and more gowever are operating with no full or part time paid staff. We have one "paid person" recieving a minimum stipend for 25 hours per month and donating at least 135 hours per month. This model is not sustainable. We need assistance with tasks so that we can move forward and grow to sustainably meet the needs of the local Hispanic community.
