Tips for successful recruiting:

  1. Get the word out. Notify friends, family and co-workers about your team. Send out a company-wide email or memo, or send family invite or start a phone tree.
  2. Get people inspired by the cause. Invite an informational speaker to give a presentation about Carolina Canines and their programs. Seek permission to distribute a handout with your next company paycheck or newsletter.
  3. Inspire a friendly competition between departments or co-workers to see which team can raise the most.
  4. Be in communication. Once people have agreed to be a part of your team, keep them involved. First make sure they have the registration information and that they turn in their forms on time. Set pledge goals and suggest ways to achieve them.
  5. Convey fun and excitement and everyone will want to join you!
