Why Use Member Spotlights?
People love hearing about other people! If you are a board member or leader of a member organization, you should consider interviewing members as a part of a “Member Spotlight” series. Asking questions of your member organizations and individuals can also be excellent ways to compile content to share with your audience across multiple platforms, such as social media, newsletters, or organizational brochures. When conducting interviews, it is important to ask questions that are open ended, and allow room for thoughtful, heartfelt responses.
