Public Service Community Outreach

1) Review local needs and opportunities with community health and welfare leaders.
2) Make a list of causes that will benefit the most from the type of assistance your chapter members can provide. Given NABIP members’ essential role in the health care delivery system, programs pertaining to health issues are natural choices, but not the only appropriate ones.
3) Consider the level of involvement your chapter can offer, and evaluate opportunities accordingly. For example, if your chapter is able to contribute money but not volunteer time, this is an important factor when evaluating the suitability of a project.
4) Discuss the list with the chapter board or at a regular membership meeting and be prepared to make a recommendation on a single activity or project.
